Educational Q&A

As a closing colophon, the verse does not add new doctrinal content; it emphasizes that Kṛṣṇa’s words in this chapter are to be received as authoritative counsel, framing the preceding discourse as ethically significant guidance within the war narrative.

Sañjaya marks the completion of the seventy-fourth chapter in the Karṇa Parva, identifying it as a chapter whose subject is Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s speech; it functions as an editorial/narrative closure rather than an event within the battlefield action.
