Educational Q&A
That Vedic study is governed by dharmic discipline: one must observe anadhyaya (periods when recitation is suspended) and then resume study properly under instruction.
Vyasa concludes his explanation about anadhyaya, tells his son Shuka to proceed with Vedic study, and then departs toward the bank of the celestial Ganga.
