Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals that the chapter’s dharma-instruction has been delivered through the Ujjhavṛttikā upākhyāna, emphasizing the Mahābhārata’s method of teaching ethics via illustrative stories.
The text is formally closing the chapter: it states that within the Śānti Parva, in the Gokṣadharma section, the chapter concerning the Ujjhavṛttikā tale has been completed, with Bhīṣma as the speaker in the surrounding discourse.
