Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it marks the completion of a chapter in the Mokṣa-dharma portion of the Śānti Parva, framing the preceding material as authoritative instruction delivered through the Manu–Bṛhaspati dialogue on dharma and liberation.

What is happening in the narrative?

Bhīṣma’s discourse (as the overarching speaker in Śānti Parva) reaches the formal end of Adhyāya 205; the text announces that the Manu–Bṛhaspati conversation unit has concluded and identifies its placement within the Mahābhārata’s Śānti Parva, Mokṣa-dharma section.
