Educational Q&A
This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it frames the ethical weight of the preceding discourse by identifying it as Bhīṣma and Droṇa’s counsel within the diplomacy-and-war-preparation context of the Udyoga Parva, emphasizing that guidance (vākya) and deliberation are integral to dharma before conflict.
The chapter concludes. The text signals that the forty-ninth chapter of the Yāna–Saṃdhi section within the Udyoga Parva—centered on Bhīṣma and Droṇa’s words—has ended.
