Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Though this line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse, it frames the surrounding narrative ethically: even in war, dharma includes compassion and proper care for the fallen—here signaled by the ‘giving of support/provision’ to Bhīṣma.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is closing a chapter within Bhīṣma Parva, in the portion dealing with Bhīṣma’s being brought down. It indicates that the chapter’s theme involved an act of assistance or provision offered to Bhīṣma, and it formally marks the end of Adhyāya 120.
