व्यास उवाच
This line functions as a colophon marking the completion of a chapter; it emphasizes the didactic setting of Mokṣadharma—learning through inquiry (anuprasna), where liberation-oriented dharma is clarified by successive questions.
Vyāsa signals that the chapter has concluded: within the Śānti Parva’s Mokṣadharma section, the 250th chapter—centered on Śukadeva’s follow-up questions—has come to an end.
