Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon (closing formula), not a teaching verse. Its function is to locate the preceding instruction within the Mahābhārata’s Śānti Parva, Mokṣa-dharma section, and to mark the end of the relevant chapter/episode.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is formally concluding an adhyāya and identifying the sub-episode (upākhyāna) to which it belongs. It signals a transition point: the end of the Ujjha-vṛtti illustrative tale within Mokṣa-dharma.
