This closing formula marks the end of the episode in which prowess with arms is displayed, foreshadowing how cultivated skill, when joined to ambition and rivalry, can become a moral test for rulers and kin alike.

This is a colophon concluding the chapter: it highlights that the narrative segment is about the public demonstration of martial skill. Ethically, it signals that mastery of weapons is not value-neutral—its public display can intensify pride, competition, and political tension, setting the stage for dharmic challenges in governance and kinship.
The text is formally closing the chapter in the Ādi Parva (Sambhava Parva) whose theme is the demonstration of weapons and combat skills. It functions as an editorial/narrative boundary marker rather than a spoken dialogue line with new plot action.
