Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

As a colophon, the verse itself teaches indirectly: it frames the preceding episode as a unit centered on wrathful speech, prompting reflection on how anger distorts judgment and how words in wartime can deepen harm; dharma requires restraint and accountability even under extreme pressure.

What is happening in the narrative?

Sañjaya closes the chapter, indicating that the section dealing with Yudhiṣṭhira’s anger-filled utterance has concluded within the Karṇa Parva.
