Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse; its function is to preserve textual order and context—identifying the work, parva, sub-section, and the chapter count—supporting disciplined transmission and study.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrative action is not advanced here; the verse simply marks the conclusion of the chapter and locates it within the Ādi Parva’s Caitraratha section, specifically the episode/theme described as the journey to the Pañcāla region.
