Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon marking the close of a chapter and locating it within the epic’s structure. Its ethical import is indirect: it frames the war narrative—especially the Jayadratha episode—within an ordered textual tradition, reminding the reader that events are presented as part of a larger dharmic history rather than isolated violence.
The verse does not narrate an action; it formally concludes the chapter, identifying that the text is in the Droṇa Parva, within the Jayadratha-slaying sub-episode, and that this particular chapter concerns Yudhiṣṭhira’s advance/setting forth.
