Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon that signals the completion of the chapter; it does not itself present a new teaching. Its function is to locate the discourse within Śānti Parva’s Mokṣa-dharma section and to mark the end of the Gokapilīya episode.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrative/discourse attributed to the Gokapilīya section has concluded, and the text formally closes the chapter by naming the larger work (Mahābhārata), the parva (Śānti), the subsection (Mokṣa-dharma), and the chapter count (269th).
