Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon marking the end of a chapter; it does not present a new teaching itself, but situates the preceding instruction within the Mokṣa-dharma portion of the Śānti Parvan and names the chapter “Diśāsvastika,” indicating a focus on auspiciousness/benediction connected with the directions.
The text is formally closing Adhyāya 208 of the Mokṣa-dharma section in the Śānti Parvan. It functions as an editorial/narrative boundary statement rather than spoken dialogue content.
