Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon marking the close of a chapter; it frames the teaching context as rājadharma (royal ethics and governance) and cāturāśramya-vidhi (the proper ordering of the four stages of life), implying that kingship is to be guided by dharma and by respect for the āśrama-based moral-social framework.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text signals the end of the sixty-sixth chapter within the Śānti Parva’s rājadharma instruction. It is not a spoken narrative event but an editorial/structural closure indicating where the discussion belongs in the larger Mahābhārata.
