Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a didactic verse; its function is to frame the narrative by identifying the textual location (Ādi Parva → Sambhava Parva → Yayāti episode) and to signal the completion of the chapter.

What is happening in the narrative?

The chapter concludes. The text formally notes that the Yayāti-upākhyāna section has reached its seventy-fifth chapter within the Ādi Parva’s Sambhava Parva.
