Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a teaching verse: it frames the preceding narrative as dharma-instruction delivered through pilgrimage discourse (tīrthayātrā) and exempla (upākhyāna). Its ethical function is to signal that the tale of Yavakrīta is meant to be remembered as a moral illustration within the larger dharma-oriented journey.

What is happening in the narrative?

The chapter concludes. The text formally identifies its location: within the Mahābhārata’s Vana Parva, in the Tīrthayātrā section, during Lomāśa’s account of sacred travels, specifically in the sub-episode about Yavakrīta.
