This line is a colophon: it does not add a new moral instruction but signals closure. Indirectly, it highlights the epic’s concern with continuity across lives (janmāntara) and the careful framing of narratives within larger textual divisions.
The narration pauses: the chapter that recounted Draupadī’s former-birth account within the Caitraratha section of the Ādi Parva is formally concluded.
