Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it does not add new instruction, but formally closes the chapter within Mokṣa-dharma, framing the preceding material as part of the Mahābhārata’s ethical and liberation-oriented teachings.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text signals the end of the chapter: within Śānti Parva’s Mokṣa-dharma section, the three-hundred-and-thirty-fourth chapter is declared complete, preparing the reader for the next chapter’s continuation of the discourse.
