Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon marking the completion of a chapter; it does not present a new doctrinal teaching, but situates the reader within the Mahābhārata’s structure—Vana Parva, within the Nalopākhyāna section.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrative pauses: the text signals that the chapter has concluded, identifying its placement (within Vana Parva and the Nala episode) and its stated subject matter (Bṛhadaśva and Yama).
