Educational Q&A

This line is a colophon, not a doctrinal verse: it marks the closure of a chapter and identifies the textual location (Mahābhārata → Karṇa Parva → Arjuna’s speech). Its value is structural and editorial, helping readers track speakers and sections within the war narrative.

The narrative action is not advanced here; the text is concluding Adhyāya 67 of the Karṇa Parva and noting that the preceding portion is attributed to Arjuna’s words.
