Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This is a colophon rather than a didactic verse: it underscores how epic narration frames ethical memory—valor (parākrama) is recorded as meaningful when tied to a larger dharmic aim within the war’s moral stakes.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is closing a chapter in Droṇa Parva, within the Jayadratha-slaying episode, and signals that the chapter’s focus has been Bhīmasena’s martial exploits.
