Educational Q&A
This is a formal colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it teaches how the epic frames events within ordered textual units. By naming the chapter’s theme (Yudhiṣṭhira’s joy) and closing the parva, it emphasizes that emotions in war—relief, satisfaction, or joy—are also part of dharmic reflection and are recorded with accountability and structure.
The narrator’s voice marks the completion of a chapter focused on Yudhiṣṭhira’s joy and then declares the Karṇa Parva finished. It functions as a transition point, signaling that the narrative is moving from the events and consequences centered in the Karṇa Parva to the next section of the Mahābhārata.
