Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it teaches how the Mahābhārata organizes narration—by parva, sub-parva, speaker attribution, and chapter numbering—so the reader can track authority, context, and sequence.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is marking the end of Chapter 112 of the Droṇa Parva, specifically within the Jayadratha-slaying episode, and notes that the preceding material is framed as Yudhiṣṭhira’s words.
