Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it signals the completion of a chapter framed around Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s words within the Pratijñā (vow) episode. Its ethical emphasis is indirect—highlighting the narrative importance of vows and counsel in the conduct of war.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is marking closure: it announces that the eighty-fifth chapter of the Droṇa Parva—classified under the Pratijñā Parva and themed as ‘Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s discourse’—has concluded.
