Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

As a chapter-ending colophon, the verse underscores the ethical seriousness of divine weaponry and heroic power: extraordinary force (parākrama) and celestial weapons are not merely feats of strength but carry moral consequences, requiring restraint and discernment within dharma.

What is happening in the narrative?

Sañjaya formally signals the completion of the two-hundredth chapter within Droṇa Parva, identifying its subject as Aśvatthāmā’s prowess and situating it in the episode connected with the Nārāyaṇa weapon’s discharge/resolution.
