Educational Q&A

Although this line is primarily a colophon, it points to a key idea: the Lord’s incarnate actions (here, Varāha’s ‘play’) are not random but serve the maintenance of dharma and cosmic stability, inviting a devotional-ethical reading of divine intervention.

The text is marking closure: it announces that the 209th chapter—titled “Varāha’s Play”—within the Śānti Parva’s Gokṣa-dharma section has been completed, functioning as an editorial/end-of-chapter notice rather than a spoken narrative verse.
