Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line functions as a colophon: it signals the completion of a chapter within Bhīṣma’s dharma-instructions, specifically in the Dāna-dharma section, and identifies the chapter’s topic as an esoteric teaching about Skanda. The ethical frame is that such teachings are embedded within guidance on righteous conduct and meritorious giving.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrative pauses for a formal editorial closure: the text announces that the 134th chapter—about Skanda’s secret—has concluded within the Anuśāsana Parva’s Dāna-dharma portion, in the context of Bhīṣma’s discourse.
