Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it teaches indirectly by emphasizing textual order and closure—marking the completion of a chapter and framing the narrative within the larger ethical arc of āśrama-life and withdrawal after worldly conflict.

What is happening in the narrative?

The chapter concludes with a formal ending statement identifying the work (Mahābhārata), the parva (Āśramavāsika), and the chapter’s theme (Vyāsa’s arrival), indicating a transition to the next chapter.
