Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals the textual setting (Śānti Parvan, Mokṣa-dharma) and closes the Bhṛgu–Bharadvāja dialogue, framing the preceding material as instruction oriented toward dharma and liberation.
The chapter concludes: the compiler’s closing formula identifies the work (Mahābhārata), the larger book (Śānti Parvan), the subsection (Mokṣa-dharma), and the interlocutors (Bhṛgu and Bharadvāja), and marks the end of the chapter.
