Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it indicates that the chapter’s subject was the exposition of adhyātma-tattva—spiritual principles—connected with Śrī Kṛṣṇa, within the Mokṣadharma teachings on liberation.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is marking closure: the compiler/editorial voice announces the completion of the relevant chapter in the Mokṣadharma section of Śānti Parva, attributed in the running dialogue to Bhīṣma’s discourse.
