Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon marking the end of a chapter in the Mokṣadharma section; it frames the teaching as a didactic dialogue (between a Brahmin and King Senajit) situated within Śānti Parva’s broader concern with dharma, peace, and the pursuit of liberation.
The text signals closure: the chapter that narrates the Brahmin–Senajit conversation has concluded within the Mokṣadharma portion of Śānti Parva (as recounted in the Mahābhārata’s ongoing discourse attributed to Bhīṣma).
