याज़्ञवल्क्य उवाच
This verse is a colophon marking the end of a chapter; it frames the preceding material as Mokṣadharma—dharma oriented toward liberation—presented through the instructive dialogue of sage Yājñavalkya and King Janaka, a model of reflective, ethically grounded rulership.
The text formally closes the chapter, identifying its placement (Śānti Parva → Mokṣadharma section) and its subject (the Yājñavalkya–Janaka dialogue). It functions as an editorial/narrative boundary rather than a spoken doctrinal verse.
