Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line functions as a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it emphasizes that Bhīṣma’s discourse is organized as formal instruction (anuśāsana) on rāja-dharma—ethical kingship—within the broader peace-oriented framework of the Śānti Parva.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text signals the end of Adhyāya 71 in the Rājadharmānuśāsana section of Śānti Parva, marking a structural pause in Bhīṣma’s ongoing counsel to Yudhiṣṭhira on the duties and conduct of rulers.
