Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the line primarily teaches how the Mahābhārata organizes instruction: ethical exemplars (like the Vṛtra-slaying episode) are embedded within a pilgrimage frame, presenting sacred travel as a setting for remembering paradigmatic deeds and reflecting on duty, consequence, and exemplary conduct.
This is the chapter-ending notice: it states that the 101st chapter—within Vana Parva’s Tīrthayātrā Parva, during Lomasha’s pilgrimage narration—focused on the upākhyāna about Vṛtra’s slaying, and that this chapter is now complete.
