भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals that Bhīṣma’s instruction on rājadharma—especially the norms and policy concerning an army commander (senānīti)—has concluded for this chapter, framing the ethical and administrative scope of the teaching.
The text formally closes Chapter 103 of the Śānti Parva’s Rājadharmānuśāsana section, indicating the end of a segment of Bhīṣma’s post-war counsel on governance and military leadership given for the restoration of righteous rule.
