Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a teaching verse; its function is to mark the completion of the chapter and to identify its placement within the Mahābhārata—specifically the Anugītā portion of the Aśvamedhika Parva, in the context of Vāsudeva’s consolatory instruction.
The narrator’s framing concludes the chapter: the text signals that the discourse associated with Vāsudeva’s consolation has reached the end of its sixty-first chapter, and it records the work’s internal division (parva and sub-parva) for readers and reciters.
