Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: its function is to mark the completion of a chapter and to identify its placement (Śānti Parva → Gokṣa-dharma section) and its subject (the Ujjhavṛttikā exemplum). The ethical import is indirect: it frames the preceding material as dharma-instruction delivered through an illustrative tale.
No new narrative event occurs here. The text formally closes the chapter, stating that the chapter dealing with the Ujjhavṛttikā upākhyāna within the Gokṣa-dharma section of Śānti Parva has concluded.
