Educational Q&A

This line functions as a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it highlights that the surrounding chapter’s instruction belongs to the Dāna-dharma (ethics of giving) discourse, framed through the dialogue of Śāṇḍilī and Sumanā, emphasizing charity as a key component of dharma.

Bhīṣma’s discourse reaches a formal chapter conclusion: the text announces that the chapter on the Śāṇḍilī–Sumanā dialogue within Anuśāsana Parva’s Dāna-dharma section has ended.
