Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse primarily marks completion, but it frames the chapter’s ethical focus: dāna-dharma—right giving and the proper support of those who live by regulated alms (bhikṣā), emphasizing disciplined charity rather than indiscriminate donation.
The text signals that the instructional unit within Anuśāsana Parva has concluded: the 122nd chapter dealing with Maitreya and the topic of alms-seeking is finished, closing a segment of Bhīṣma’s didactic discourse.
