Educational Q&A
This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it teaches by form, emphasizing orderly transmission of scripture and situating the Gālava episode within the broader dharmic context of pre-war diplomacy (Bhagavad-yāna), where ethical counsel and attempts at reconciliation precede conflict.
The text signals closure: it announces that the chapter—classified under Udyoga Parva, within the Bhagavad-yāna Parva, and focused on Gālava’s narrative—has been completed. It functions as an editorial/narrative boundary marker.
