Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it signals closure and frames the preceding material as a Karṇa–Duryodhana dialogue within the Ghoṣa-yātrā episode, reminding the reader that counsel, alliance, and ethical positioning are being developed through conversation.

What is happening in the narrative?

No new action occurs here; the narrator’s closing formula marks that the chapter on the Karṇa–Duryodhana conversation in the Ghoṣa-yātrā section of the Vana Parva has concluded.
