Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line functions as a colophon: it signals the completion of a chapter whose subject is a confidential (rahasya) discussion of dharma, situated within the Dāna-dharma (charity/ethical giving) section of the Anuśāsana Parva.

What is happening in the narrative?

Rather than advancing dialogue, the text marks closure: it announces that the 130th chapter—framed around Arundhatī and Citragupta and presented under Yama’s speech heading—has concluded within the Mahābhārata’s Anuśāsana Parva.
