Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse; it signals the conclusion of a chapter within the Mokṣadharma (liberation-teachings) portion of Śānti Parva, framing the surrounding discourse as adhyātma—concerned with the inner self and the path toward liberation.
The text is marking a structural boundary: it closes the chapter count (the 194th) within the Mokṣadharma section of Śānti Parva. Although the speaker is given as Bhīṣma elsewhere in the chapter, this particular line functions as an editorial/end-of-chapter marker.
