Educational Q&A
This is a colophon marking the end of a chapter; its ethical emphasis is indirect: it frames Bhīṣma’s valor within the larger dharmic tragedy of war, reminding the reader that heroic prowess is recorded and judged within an ordered narrative of duty, consequence, and remembrance.
The narrator Sañjaya signals the formal close of the chapter in the Bhīṣma Parva, specifically within the portion dealing with Bhīṣma’s fall, indicating that the preceding content has described Bhīṣma’s exploits (parākrama) and that the chapter count has reached 118.
