Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This is a colophon marking the chapter’s close, reminding the reader that the war narrative is preserved as a sacred moral history: chaotic combat (saṅkula-yuddha) is not mere spectacle but a field where dharma, vows, and consequences are tested and recorded.

What is happening in the narrative?

The verse does not advance the plot directly; it formally concludes the chapter within Droṇa Parva, situating it in the Jayadratha-slaying section and characterizing the events as a tangled, confused battle.
