Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

As a colophon, the line does not teach a doctrine directly; it frames the episode ethically by foregrounding Bhīmasena’s valor as purposeful effort in a dharmic struggle, and it signals orderly transmission and accountability in epic narration.

What is happening in the narrative?

This is the chapter-ending statement: Sañjaya indicates that the chapter focused on Bhīmasena’s prowess has concluded, and it situates it within the Droṇa Parva and the Jayadratha-vadha subsection.
