Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse primarily teaches textual and narrative closure: it signals that a morally charged episode (Śiśupāla’s account within the assembly narrative) has been formally completed and framed as a discrete unit within the epic’s dharma-oriented storytelling.
The chapter ends. The text identifies the larger book (Sabhā Parva), the relevant sub-section (Śiśupāla-vadha), and the topic (narration of Śiśupāla’s account), then declares the forty-third adhyāya complete.
