Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; instead it frames the episode within the epic’s ethical canvas: acts performed in war—especially those driven by vengeance—are to be understood as part of a larger inquiry into dharma, responsibility, and the consequences of hatred.
This is the formal closing line of the chapter: it states that the eighty-second chapter of the Karṇa Parva—specifically the section describing the combat between Duḥśāsana and Bhīmasena—has concluded, as reported in the Mahābhārata tradition.
