Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon marking the close of a chapter situated within Bhīṣma’s instruction on dāna (ethical giving) and śrāddha (ancestral rites). Its function is to locate the teaching within the Mahābhārata’s instructional framework rather than to add new doctrine.

What is happening in the narrative?

The discourse segment concludes: the text formally announces that the chapter has ended, identifying its placement in Anuśāsana Parva, within the dāna-dharma section and the śrāddha-ritual topic.
