Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is not a doctrinal verse but a colophon: it identifies the textual location (Śānti Parva → Mokṣa-dharma) and the speakers (Bhṛgu and Bharadvāja), marking the completion of the chapter.

What is happening in the narrative?

The discourse between the sages Bhṛgu and Bharadvāja has reached a stopping point: the chapter concludes, and the text formally records its end and context.
