नारद उवाच
As a colophon, the verse itself does not teach a doctrine directly; its ethical force is contextual: it frames the Abhimanyu-vadha narrative as a remembered and ordered account, underscoring that even in war—where dharma is strained—actions are recorded, judged, and transmitted for reflection on right conduct and its violations.
This line signals the end of the 70th chapter of Droṇa Parva, within the Abhimanyu-vadha section, and notes its placement in the “Sixteen Kings” episode. It functions as a formal closing marker rather than spoken dialogue content.
