Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon marking the close of a chapter and locating it within the Mahābhārata’s structure; it does not itself present a new ethical teaching, but signals that the preceding material belonged to the context of Satyavatī’s instruction within the Sambhava Parva.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrator’s discourse reaches a formal stopping point: the text announces the end of the 104th chapter, identifying the larger book (Ādi Parva), the subsection (Sambhava Parva), and the topical setting (Satyavatī’s instruction).
