FAQs
It functions as a colophon—a traditional chapter-ending marker used by scribes and reciters to indicate the close of a chapter, rather than a spoken line within the story.
'Iti' means 'thus' and commonly signals completion, summarizing that what precedes is concluded (here, the chapter).
Not directly; it primarily provides structural metadata (text name, section, and chapter number) to aid transmission and citation.
