भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
This closing colophon points to the chapter’s focus: ethical and disciplined conduct in a gaṇarājya (assembly-based polity). The implied teaching is that collective governance must be anchored in dharma—procedural fairness, unity, restraint, and prioritizing the common welfare over factional gain.
The text is a concluding statement marking the end of Adhyāya 107 within the Rājadharmānuśāsana portion of Śānti Parva. It signals that Bhīṣma’s discourse on the practical conduct of a republican state has been completed.
