Educational Q&A
The chapter’s closure points back to the ethical tension explored in the Bhīṣma–Satyavatī dialogue: personal sacrifice and steadfast vows are portrayed as instruments for protecting dynastic continuity and social order, even when they demand severe renunciation.
This is a colophon-style concluding line: Vaiśampāyana signals that the episode and chapter focused on the Bhīṣma–Satyavatī conversation within the Sambhava Parva (origins section) has ended.
