Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse itself teaches primarily through framing: it marks Yayāti’s life-story as a self-contained moral exemplum within the Vana Parva’s didactic setting, inviting the reader to treat the preceding narrative as ethically instructive rather than merely entertaining.
This line is not part of the spoken story-action; it is an editorial/recitational closure indicating that the chapter concerning Yayāti’s account has concluded within the Markandeya-associated subsection of the Vana Parva.
