Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it marks the completion of a chapter whose subject is the Manu–Bṛhaspati dialogue in the Mokṣadharma section, framing the teachings as part of the Mahābhārata’s ethical and liberation-oriented instruction.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text formally closes a chapter within Śānti Parva’s Mokṣadharma portion, indicating that the discourse topic (Manu and Bṛhaspati) has concluded and the compilation proceeds to the next unit.
