Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

As a colophon, the line itself teaches by framing the episode: it highlights that the Sūrya–Karṇa dialogue belongs to a morally significant narrative unit where vows, generosity, and personal identity carry consequences, inviting reflection on dharma in difficult choices.

What is happening in the narrative?

This is the closing formula of the chapter: it announces that the three-hundredth chapter, centered on the Sūrya–Karṇa dialogue within the Kuṇḍalāharaṇa episode of the Vana Parva, has concluded.
