Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line functions as a colophon marking the completion of a chapter whose theme is durga-parīkṣā—how a king should assess a fort/stronghold as part of rājadharma (responsible governance and security).

What is happening in the narrative?

The text signals the end of the eighty-sixth chapter within Śānti Parva’s Rājadharmānuśāsana section; it is an editorial/structural closure rather than a spoken narrative event.
