Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; instead, it ethically frames the war narrative by highlighting that events like Jayadratha’s death and Karṇa’s movements are part of a larger chain of vows, choices, and consequences—central to the Mahābhārata’s reflection on dharma under extreme conflict.
This is the chapter-ending colophon: it signals that the account belongs to Droṇa Parva, within the Jayadratha-slaying section, and includes the episode of Karṇa’s departure, concluding Chapter 136.
