Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals the completion of a chapter whose theme is māṁsa-varjana—ethical abstention from meat—placed within Bhīṣma’s broader instruction on dharma, especially in the context of dāna and righteous conduct.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is closing a chapter in the Anuśāsana Parva. It formally identifies the work (Mahābhārata), the parva (Anuśāsana), the internal section (dāna-dharma), and the chapter’s topic (abstaining from meat), and then marks the chapter as the 114th.
