Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the completed chapter within the larger epic. Ethically, it points back to the Abhimanyu episode as a lens on dharma in war—how rules, vows, and collective responsibility are tested when victory is pursued at the cost of fairness and compassion.
This line signals the formal end of Adhyāya 66 in the Droṇa Parva, specifically within the Abhimanyu-slaying section. It functions as an editorial/narrative marker rather than a spoken action, closing the chapter’s account and locating it within the epic’s internal divisions.
