Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse; it signals the completion of a chapter within the Dāna-dharma discourse, emphasizing that the surrounding material belongs to the ethical framework of righteous giving and conduct taught in the Anuśāsana Parva.
The text formally closes the chapter by naming the work (Mahābhārata), the parva (Anuśāsana), the internal section (Dāna-dharma), and the chapter count (sixty-sixth), marking a transition point before the next chapter begins.
