Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Even in a war narrative, the text highlights krodha (anger) as a morally charged force: it can drive heroic action but also threatens discernment and dharma. The chapter-ending notice foregrounds this ethical theme as the subject of the episode.

What is happening in the narrative?

This is a colophon-style closing line: Sañjaya signals that the chapter within Droṇa Parva—under the episode concerning the discharge of the Nārāyaṇa weapon—has concluded, and that its focus was the anger of Dhṛṣṭadyumna and Sātyaki.
