Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals the completion of a chapter within the Śānti Parva’s instruction on rājadharma (ethical kingship), framing the preceding material as authoritative guidance on governance and duty.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is closing a chapter: it formally locates the chapter within the Mahābhārata (Śānti Parva, Rājadharma-anuśāsana section) and names it as part of the Ṛṣabha-gītā material, indicating the end of that adhyāya’s discourse.
