Educational Q&A
This is a colophon rather than a teaching verse: it marks the completion of a chapter and frames the narrative as a coherent moral history, where actions—especially those driven by pride and hostility—are meant to be read with attention to their ethical consequences.
The text signals that the chapter dealing with Duryodhana’s entry into the city, within the Ghoṣayātrā section of the Vana Parva, has concluded.
