Educational Q&A
The colophon highlights the didactic purpose of the Sāvitrī narrative within the Pativratā-māhātmya: steadfast commitment to dharma and unwavering marital fidelity are presented as powerful ethical ideals worthy of praise and remembrance.
This is a concluding colophon, not a spoken verse of the story proper: it announces that the chapter concerning the Sāvitrī episode—within the glorification of devoted wives in the Vana Parva—has been completed.
