Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it signals a moral and narrative threshold: once the armies enter Kurukṣetra, the conflict moves from counsel and restraint to action and accountability, highlighting how choices culminate in unavoidable consequences.
The text formally closes a chapter within Udyoga Parva, identifying the sub-section (the armies’ march) and the episode (entry into Kurukṣetra), indicating that the preparations have reached the point of physical arrival at the battlefield.
