Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is not a doctrinal verse but a colophon. Its significance is structural: it frames the preceding instruction as part of Āpaddharma—ethical decision-making under crisis—within the broader peace-and-dharma discourse of Śānti Parva.

What is happening in the narrative?

Bhīṣma’s discourse reaches a chapter boundary. The text formally announces that the 142nd chapter of the Āpaddharma section (within Śānti Parva) has concluded.
