Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line functions as a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it highlights how epic narration is ethically framed through careful structuring—episodes are closed with accountability (who spoke, what theme), reminding readers that actions like cattle-raiding and provocation are not isolated events but part of a moral and political chain leading toward war.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrator (Vaiśampāyana) signals the end of a chapter in the Virāṭa Parva, within the cattle-raid episode (Uttara-gograha), specifying that the chapter’s content was connected with Duryodhana’s words. It is a formal closure indicating the completion of that chapter’s discourse.
