Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This is not a doctrinal teaching-verse but a colophon. Its significance is structural: it signals the completion of the Śānti Parva, a section whose broader core teaching emphasizes dharma, ethical governance, restraint, and the restoration of peace after conflict.

What is happening in the narrative?

No narrative action occurs here. The printed line marks the end of the Śānti Parva; the additional text in the citation consists of editorial notes about metres, syllable counts, and verse totals in different recensions.
