वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the ethical arc by highlighting that war arises not only from anger but from organized resolve—mobilization, division of forces, and calculated preparation—thereby intensifying responsibility for the consequences.
The text marks the conclusion of a chapter in the Udyoga Parva, specifying that the completed portion concerned the army’s departure and the division/arrangement of Duryodhana’s troops, and it signals a transition to the next unit of narration.
