Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a teaching-verse: it signals closure and preserves the text’s organization—work, parva, sub-section, episode-title, and chapter number—helping readers locate and transmit the narrative accurately.

What is happening in the narrative?

The chapter ends. The colophon states that the narration associated with Mārkaṇḍeya’s section, within the Ājñirasa episode about Agni’s emergence/arising, has reached the end of Chapter 222 in the Vana Parva.
