The colophon situates the chapter within dāna-dharma, implying that the episode’s ethical focus is on proper giving—meeting requests for alms with respect, generosity, and steadiness of mind, rather than with irritation or pride.
This line is a concluding colophon: it marks the end of a chapter in the Anuśāsana Parva and names it “Durvāsā’s Request for Alms,” indicating that the preceding narrative centered on Durvāsā approaching for bhikṣā and the moral implications of the response.
