भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
This verse is a colophon marking the completion of a chapter on śrāddha-kalpa within the broader teaching on dāna-dharma. Its ethical emphasis is that ritual acts like śrāddha are framed as duties (dharma) and are closely linked with giving—performed with faith, propriety, and respect for lineage and social-religious order.
The instructional discourse attributed to Bhīṣma reaches a formal chapter-end. The text signals that the eighty-eighth chapter on the rules/procedure of śrāddha, situated inside the Anuśāsana Parva’s section on charity and duty, has concluded.
