Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not add new instruction; it frames the ethical context by marking that this chapter’s discussion belongs to dāna-dharma (the discipline of giving) and is oriented toward ending saṃsāra (the cycle of worldly rebirth).
The narrator Vaiśaṃpāyana signals the formal close of the 113th chapter within Anuśāsana Parva’s dāna-dharma section, indicating that the topic treated is the ‘completion’ or ‘cessation’ of the saṃsāra-cycle.
