Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line functions as a colophon marking the completion of a Mokṣa-dharma chapter; it frames the preceding material as a liberation-oriented dharma teaching illustrated through the Ucchavṛttikā episode.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text signals closure: Bhīṣma’s discourse (within Śānti Parva) has finished the chapter whose subject is the Ucchavṛttikā-related sub-story, and the chapter is formally concluded.
