Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it indicates that the instructional unit called the Brāhmaṇa-gītā chapter has ended within the Anugītā portion. Its function is to frame the teaching as a complete, self-contained lesson meant for recollection and ethical reflection.

What is happening in the narrative?

The speaker’s discourse reaches a formal stopping point. The text signals that, within the Āśvamedhika Parva’s Anugītā section, the chapter focused on the Brāhmaṇa’s teaching is now concluded.
