Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the line does not add new doctrine but frames the chapter’s focus: Śuka’s ‘upward ascent’ as an emblem of mokṣa—liberation through detachment, inner realization, and transcendence beyond worldly duties.
The text is formally closing the chapter, stating that within the Śānti Parva’s Mokṣadharma section, the chapter dealing with Śukadeva’s ascent has been completed.
