Educational Q&A
This line functions as a colophon marking the completion of a chapter within the royal-duties instruction. By naming the topic—division/allocation of households or estates—it frames the ethical concern of orderly distribution under rājadharma: governance requires clear, fair apportionment to prevent conflict and sustain social stability.
Vaiśaṃpāyana signals that the forty-fourth chapter on the subject of dividing households/estates has ended within the Śānti Parva’s rājadharma instruction section. It is a formal closing statement rather than a new narrative event.
