Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse; its function is to frame the surrounding material as part of the Dāna-dharma (ethics of giving) discourse within Anuśāsana Parva, emphasizing the Mahābhārata’s didactic organization around dharma.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text signals closure: it announces that the chapter dealing with the Meghavāhana-related narrative has concluded, and it locates that chapter within the broader Dāna-dharma portion of Anuśāsana Parva.
