Educational Q&A
This line functions as a colophon: it frames the teaching as part of Mokṣadharma, emphasizing that the preceding discussion belongs to liberation-oriented dharma and includes a cosmogonic account of the arising of mental beings—topics used to orient the listener toward metaphysical understanding that supports detachment and liberation.
The text is closing a chapter within the Śānti Parva. It identifies the setting as a dialogue between the sages Bhṛgu and Bharadvāja and labels the subject as the account of the origin of mental beings, marking the end of the chapter.
