Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This is not a doctrinal verse but a colophon: it teaches how the epic is framed and transmitted—identifying the narrator and marking completion, while also indicating how metres are standardized for counting verses in a given recension.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrative pauses to close the Āśramavāsika Parva. The line functions as an editorial/recensional note, recording that the parva is complete and giving metrical/verse-count information used in the Northern Indian text tradition.
