The colophon signals the close of an instructive episode on ujjha-vṛtti—an austere, non-dependent way of living—highlighting Mokṣa-dharma values such as restraint, minimalism, and ethical self-sufficiency as supports for inner freedom.
This is an end-of-chapter colophon: it formally concludes the chapter within Śānti Parva’s Mokṣa-dharma section, identifying the completed unit as the ujjha-vṛtti upākhyāna (a didactic sub-tale about an ascetic mode of livelihood).
