Educational Q&A
As a chapter-colophon, the line itself does not state a doctrine; it signals that the preceding dialogue is framed as Mokṣadharma—teaching oriented toward liberation—presented through a reflective exchange between Indra and Prahlāda within the peace-centered Śānti Parva.
The text is concluding the chapter: it announces that the chapter titled “Indra and Prahlāda’s dialogue” has ended within the Mokṣadharma portion of Śānti Parva, functioning as an editorial/narrative closure rather than a spoken verse of argument.
