Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it marks the completion of a chapter situated in the Rājadharmānuśāsana portion of Śānti Parva, thereby framing the preceding discourse as instruction on rājadharma—ethical kingship, governance, and the responsibilities of rule.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text formally closes the chapter titled “Śrī Kṛṣṇa–Nārada Saṃvāda.” It signals that the dialogue unit has ended and locates it within the larger structure of the Mahābhārata (Śānti Parva → Rājadharmānuśāsana).
