Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon, not a didactic verse: it teaches how the Mahābhārata is organized—by parva, sub-parva, and chapter—helping readers locate and authenticate the textual unit that has just ended.

What is happening in the narrative?

No new narrative action occurs here. The text simply signals that the chapter dealing with the Uttarayāyāta episode has concluded within the Sambhava Parva of the Ādi Parva.
