Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon marking the end of a chapter; it frames the preceding material as a Sāṅkhya-oriented teaching within Mokṣadharma, emphasizing liberation-focused dharma rather than ritual or political duty.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text signals the formal conclusion of Adhyāya 301 in Śānti Parva’s Mokṣadharma section, where Bhīṣma’s instruction to Yudhiṣṭhira continues through philosophical discussions; here, the chapter’s topic is identified as an exposition of Sāṅkhya.
