As a concluding colophon, the verse highlights the epic’s ethical framing: actions rooted in manipulation and adharma—symbolized by Shakuni—meet their due outcome within the moral order that the Mahabharata repeatedly affirms.
This is an end-of-chapter statement by Sanjaya indicating that the seventy-seventh chapter of the Karna Parva, dealing with Shakuni’s defeat, has concluded.
