Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a teaching verse: it signals the completion of a chapter within the Dāna-dharma portion of the Anuśāsana Parva, framing the preceding material as Bhīṣma’s ethical instruction on the dharma of giving.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text formally closes a chapter: the narrator/editorial voice marks that the sixty-fifth adhyāya of the Dāna-dharma section in the Anuśāsana Parva has concluded.
