Educational Q&A
This line functions as a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it emphasizes the Mahābhārata’s framed method of teaching dharma through pilgrimage discourse (tīrtha-yātrā) and embedded exempla (upākhyāna), where ethical reflection is carried by narrative context.
The text is closing the chapter: it states that, within Vana Parva’s pilgrimage section, in Lomāśa’s account, the subsidiary story concerning Ṛṣyaśṛṅga (and a Śūdra, as indicated by the episode-title) has reached the end of Chapter 113.
