Educational Q&A
Even in war, the use of overwhelming or divine force demands restraint and moral accountability; when anger and pride drive the release of such weapons, violence escalates beyond proportion and corrodes dharma.
This is a concluding colophon: it marks the end of the 200th chapter in Droṇa Parva, identifying the episode as the account of the discharge of the Nārāyaṇa weapon and highlighting Aśvatthāman’s aggressive prowess within that section.
