Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line itself is a colophon, not a teaching verse: it signals that the chapter containing Sanatsujāta’s discourse has ended, presenting the preceding material as a formal ethical instruction within the Mahābhārata’s authoritative framework.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is closing the chapter: it identifies the larger book (Udyoga Parva), the specific episode (Sanatsujāta Parva), and the discourse (Sanatsujāta’s words), and then states that the forty-fifth chapter is complete.
