Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it frames the chapter as part of the Mahābhārata’s Anuśāsana Parva, specifically within teachings on dāna-dharma (the ethics of giving) and a ‘rahasya’ connected with Skanda. Its function is to locate the instruction within a moral-religious curriculum centered on righteous generosity and sacred counsel.
The chapter concludes. The text signals closure—‘thus’—and identifies the work (Mahābhārata), the book (Anuśāsana Parva), the internal section (dāna-dharma), the sub-topic (Skanda-deva-rahasya), and the chapter number (139).
