As a colophon, the verse itself teaches by framing the episode: it reminds the reader that events in war unfold as interconnected moral consequences—each killing becomes a cause for further escalation, testing dharma amid grief and retaliation.
This is the formal closing line of the chapter: it announces that the forty-sixth chapter has concluded, situated in the Droṇa Parva, within the Abhimanyu-slaying section, and specifically the episode describing Lakṣmaṇa’s death.
