अजुन उवाच
Educational Q&A
This is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it teaches attentiveness to textual framing—how the Mahābhārata marks transitions, preserves divisions (parva, upaparva, adhyāya), and signals completion to maintain fidelity in recitation and transmission.
The narrative action pauses: the text formally announces the completion of the chapter within the Nivātakavaca battle episode of the Vana Parva, indicating a structural boundary after the described conflict.
