Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon marking the chapter’s conclusion and situating it within Śānti Parva’s Āpaddharma teachings, emphasizing that the preceding narrative about a royal sage functions as ethical instruction—especially about right conduct under distress.

What is happening in the narrative?

The verse does not advance the story; it formally closes the chapter, naming its theme (“Account of the Royal Sage”) and identifying its placement in the Mahābhārata’s Śānti Parva, within the Āpaddharma section.
