Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a teaching verse: it frames the surrounding discourse as part of dāna-dharma (the ethics of giving) and links it to the ‘Mahādeva-rahasya’, indicating a devotional-ethical context centered on Śiva.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is marking the end of a chapter and identifying its location within the Mahābhārata’s structure: Anuśāsana Parva → dāna-dharma section → Mahādeva-rahasya, specifying that this is the 133rd chapter.
