Educational Q&A
The colophon underscores how the epic frames war not only through strategy and vows but also through their human cost: lamentation becomes an ethical mirror, reminding the listener that adharma in conflict yields enduring sorrow, and that vows (pratijñā) carry grave consequences.
This is the concluding statement (chapter-ending colophon) announcing that the seventy-eighth chapter—centered on Subhadrā’s lament—has been completed within the Pratijñā section of the Droṇa Parva, as reported by Sañjaya.
