युधिछ्िर उवाच
Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the line does not add new doctrine but signals that the preceding instruction belongs to the Dāna-dharma teachings and is framed under the theme of the ‘wheel of saṃsāra,’ implying that ethical living and generosity are presented as means to purify life within, and ultimately rise beyond, cyclical worldly bondage.
This is the formal closing formula marking the end of a chapter in the Anuśāsana Parva. It identifies the textual location (Mahābhārata → Anuśāsana Parva → Dāna-dharma section) and names the chapter’s theme (‘Saṃsāra-cakra’), functioning as an editorial/recensional endpoint rather than spoken dialogue.
