Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals the close of a chapter in the Mokṣadharma portion of Śānti Parva, framing the surrounding material as instruction oriented toward liberation (mokṣa) and the ethics of inner peace.
The text is marking the end of a chapter titled “Śuka’s Abhipatana” (Śuka’s descent/approach). It functions as an editorial/narrative boundary, indicating that the preceding discourse or episode connected with Śuka has concluded and the next chapter will begin.
