Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals that the preceding instruction belongs to the Mokṣa-dharma teachings within Śānti Parvan, emphasizing the Mahābhārata’s role as a guide toward peace (śānti), ethical living (dharma), and liberation (mokṣa).
The text formally closes a chapter, stating that the Nārada–Asita dialogue has concluded here and identifying its placement within Śānti Parvan’s Mokṣa-dharma section.
