Educational Q&A
Even in a war narrative, the text frames events through sacred utterance and hymn-recitation, implying that power (including divine weaponry) must be approached with reverence, restraint, and awareness of a higher moral-cosmic order.
This is a colophon-like closing statement: it announces that the chapter (numbered 201 in this internal count) within Droṇa Parva—focused on Vyāsa’s words and the Śatarudrīya recitation in the context of the Nārāyaṇāstra episode—has ended.
