Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon marking the completion of a chapter whose subject is the division and roles of ministers—implying that righteous kingship (rājadharma) depends on properly appointing, organizing, and using counselors in ethical governance.
The text is concluding a chapter within Śānti Parva’s rājadharma instruction. It functions as an editorial/structural closure rather than a spoken verse of narrative action, indicating that Bhīṣma’s discourse has finished this specific topic-unit.
