This line functions as a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it teaches how the epic self-organizes its narrative into parvas and adhyāyas, emphasizing closure, continuity, and the contextual framing needed to interpret events ethically within the forest-exile setting.
The narrator marks the end of the chapter: the 164th adhyāya of the Vana Parva, within the Yakṣa-yuddha section, whose subject is Arjuna’s approach/arrival. It is a formal conclusion statement, not a new plot action.
