Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals the completion of a chapter whose subject is the Parāśara-gītā within the Mokṣadharma portion of Śānti Parva, framing the discourse as oriented toward liberation (mokṣa) and ethical-spiritual instruction.
The text is formally closing the chapter: it identifies the larger work (Mahābhārata), the parva (Śānti), the internal section (Mokṣadharma), and the chapter’s topic (Parāśara-gītā), indicating that the chapter has concluded.
