Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals the completion of a chapter in the Mokṣadharma section, whose broader aim is to frame dharma in relation to liberation (mokṣa), often emphasizing renunciation, self-knowledge, and detachment.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is closing the chapter that dealt with the account of Śukadeva’s origin/birth. It formally marks the end of that adhyāya within the Śānti Parva’s Mokṣadharma unit.
