Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it emphasizes orderly narration and signals that the chapter’s purpose was to set the battlefield context, reminding readers that ethical choices in war unfold within a carefully framed scene.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text announces the completion of the ninety-fourth chapter in the Karṇa Parva, whose topic is the description of the battlefield setting; it functions as a formal chapter-ending marker before the next episode begins.
