Translation

Так, в досточтимой «Махабхарате», в пределах «Шанти-парвы»—а именно в разделе «Раджадхарма-анушасана» (наставление о царском долге)—завершается девяносто четвёртая глава, посвящённая «Вамадева-гите». Здесь повествование делает остановку, отмечая завершение цельного наставления о царствовании и дхарме, изложенного как авторитетный совет.

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line functions as a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals the completion of a chapter within the royal-dharma instruction. Its ethical context is that the surrounding material is framed as systematic guidance on righteous governance (rājadharma) delivered with scriptural authority.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text marks a formal pause: within Śānti Parva’s rājadharma instruction, the chapter focused on the Vāmadeva-gītā is declared complete. It is an editorial/narrative closure statement rather than a spoken argument or story event.
