Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon (chapter-ending notice). It does not present a moral teaching directly; it signals the completion of a chapter and locates it within the epic’s internal divisions.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrative pauses: the text formally announces that the 181st chapter of the Udyoga Parva—within the Amgamba-Upākhyāna sub-section—has concluded.
