Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon, not a didactic statement. Its function is to authenticate and organize the text by marking the completion of a chapter and locating it within the Mahābhārata’s larger structure (Parva → sub-Parva/section → episode).
No new narrative event occurs here. The reciter (traditionally Vaiśampāyana in the frame narrative) signals that the ninety-ninth chapter of the Āpava episode within the Sambhava section of the Ādi Parva has ended.
