वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
This verse functions as a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it emphasizes orderly preservation of the tradition by marking the completion of a chapter within a larger ethical-didactic section (Anugītā), where instruction is conveyed through narrative framing.
The narrator (Vaiśampāyana) formally closes the chapter, stating that the ninety-second chapter dealing with the Nakula episode in the Anugītā portion of the Aśvamedhika Parva has concluded.
