Так, в «Шри Махабхарате», в «Шанти-парве»—а именно в разделе «Мокша-дхарма»—завершается двести пятьдесят пятая глава, в контексте вопрошания Шуки. Это заключительный колофон, отмечающий конец главы, а не произнесённый в повествовании доктринальный стих.

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon (ending formula), not a teaching verse. Its function is to identify the textual location—Śānti Parva, Mokṣa-dharma section—and to mark the completion of the chapter connected with Śuka’s inquiry.

What is happening in the narrative?

No narrative action occurs here; it is the editorial/recitational closure of the chapter, signaling that the discussion framed as Śuka’s questions has reached the end of this adhyāya.
