Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse; its function is to preserve textual order and context—showing how the epic tradition carefully frames teachings and events within a structured transmission.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrative action is not advanced here; the line simply announces the conclusion of the chapter and identifies its placement in Ādi Parva → Sambhava Parva, noting the section connected with 'Droṇa’s seizure' and its 'release'.
