Educational Q&A
This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it frames the preceding material as instruction in dāna-dharma (the ethics of giving) and signals that the Vipula episode is meant to be read as moral guidance within the Anuśāsana Parva’s teachings on dharma.
The speaker line and colophon indicate closure: the Vipula-related sub-story (upākhyāna) within the dāna-dharma section has reached the end of its chapter, and the text formally marks the completion of the forty-third chapter.
