Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it emphasizes the Mahābhārata’s pedagogical framing of dharma through a guru–śiṣya dialogue, marking the completion of a unit of ethical-spiritual instruction within the Anugītā.
The text formally closes the forty-eighth chapter of the Anugītā section inside the Aśvamedhika Parva, indicating that the preceding teacher–disciple conversation has concluded at this point.
