Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse; its function is to mark the textual boundary of the chapter and to situate the material within the Mahābhārata’s larger structure—Aśvamedhika Parva, Anugītā section, in the context of Parīkṣit’s birth narrative.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrator signals the close of Adhyāya 66. The phrasing identifies where the preceding narration belongs: within the Aśvamedhika Parva’s Anugītā portion, specifically in the account relating to the birth of Parīkṣit.
