Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon marking the completion of a chapter whose subject is the Ṛṣabha-gītā within the Rājadharma (duties of kings) instructional material of the Śānti Parva; it signals a transition point in the didactic exposition rather than adding new doctrine in itself.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text formally closes the chapter: it states that, in the Mahābhārata’s Śānti Parva—within the Rājadharmānuśāsana section—the 128th chapter on the topic of Ṛṣabha-gītā has ended.
