Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals the completion of a Mokṣa-dharma teaching unit presented through the Ujjhavṛtti episode, framing the preceding material as a self-contained lesson within Śānti Parva’s liberation-oriented discourse.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text formally closes the chapter: it identifies the larger work (Mahābhārata), the parva (Śānti), the subsection (Mokṣa-dharma), the specific embedded tale (Ujjhavṛtti-upākhyāna), and states that the numbered chapter has ended.
