Educational Q&A
As a colophon, it does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the ethical narrative arc: the Pāṇḍavas, threatened by deceit (the lac house plot), move into forest life, highlighting endurance, prudence, and adherence to dharma under adversity.
This line announces the completion of the chapter that recounts the Pāṇḍavas’ entry into the forest in the aftermath of the lac-house episode; it is an editorial closure formula, not a dialogue line by Vidura.
