Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This is a colophon summarizing the chapter’s ethical frame: it belongs to the dharma of giving (dāna-dharma) and highlights the revered status and significance of the Brāhmaṇa, presented through an instructive dialogue between Pavana (Vāyu) and Arjuna.

What is happening in the narrative?

The verse functions as an end-of-chapter marker, identifying the textual setting: Anuśāsana Parva, the dāna-dharma section, within the Pavana–Arjuna conversation, specifically the portion describing the ‘greatness of the Brāhmaṇa,’ and it closes Chapter 158.
