Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon, not a teaching verse. Its function is to mark the completion of a chapter and to locate it within the Mahābhārata’s Śānti Parva, Mokṣa-dharma section.
The narrative pauses: the text signals that the chapter has ended. Although attributed under 'Bhīṣma uvāca' in the running context, this specific line serves as an editorial/structural closure rather than spoken dialogue.
