Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it emphasizes textual structure and sacred context—placing the narrative within the pilgrimage (tīrtha-yātrā) framework, where travel to holy places functions as a means of purification, remembrance, and dharmic orientation.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is concluding a chapter: it states that, within Vana Parva’s pilgrimage section, in the episode of Lomāśa’s tīrtha-journey, the chapter dealing with entry into Gandhamādana has ended (chapter 142 by this colophon’s count).
