Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon concluding the chapter; it frames the preceding discourse as instruction in dāna-dharma (the ethical duty of giving) and signals that the chapter’s theme concerns suvarṇotpatti, the origin and significance of gold in the context of charity.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is closing the eighty-fourth chapter within the Anuśāsana Parva’s dāna-dharma section. It is not a spoken verse of narrative action but an editorial/end-of-chapter marker indicating the chapter title and placement.
