Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon marking the completion of a chapter focused on go-dāna (the gifting of cows) within the broader teaching on dāna-dharma (the ethics and religious duty of giving). It frames charity—especially cow-gifting—as a structured dharmic practice discussed in Bhīṣma’s instructional discourse.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is not advancing the story action here; it is formally closing the chapter. It situates the just-finished discussion within the Mahābhārata’s Anuśāsana Parva and within the sub-section on charitable duty, specifying that the topic was go-dāna.
