Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This verse is not a doctrinal teaching but a colophon: it formally closes the chapter and identifies its placement (Udyoga Parva, Bhagavad-yāna section) and its narrative context (statements associated with Bhīṣma and others).

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrative action pauses here: the text signals the completion of the chapter and transitions to the next unit, while indicating that the preceding material belonged to the Bhagavad-yāna portion and was connected with Bhīṣma’s (and others’) words.
