Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line itself is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse; its ethical significance is structural: it closes an illustrative dharma-episode (upākhyāna) and frames the text as a sequence of completed teachings, encouraging attentive, orderly reception of dharma instruction.

What is happening in the narrative?

The speaker’s line marks the end of a chapter in Śānti Parva—specifically the chapter dealing with the Ucchavṛttikā episode within the Gokṣa-dharma section—signaling that the preceding story/discussion has concluded and the text will move on.
