Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The verse is a colophon marking the close of a teaching unit: it situates the preceding instruction within dāna-dharma (the ethical discipline of giving) as part of Bhīṣma’s broader dharma-upadeśa in the Anuśāsana Parva.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text signals the conclusion of the Cyavana–Kuśika dialogue and identifies it as the fifty-sixth chapter within this portion of the Anuśāsana Parva, functioning as an editorial/narrative closure rather than a new doctrinal statement.
