Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon marking the end of a chapter; its implied lesson is structural rather than doctrinal: dharma is presented through a teacher–king dialogue (Yājñavalkya and Janaka), highlighting inquiry, reasoned instruction, and ethical reflection as the method of learning.
The text signals closure: the chapter within Śānti Parva, specifically the section labeled Gokṣadharmaparva, has finished, and the dialogue-topic (Yājñavalkya–Janaka) is formally concluded for this chapter.
