Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it frames the preceding events within the epic’s ethical battlefield context, reminding the reader that individual duels (like Sātyaki and Bhūriśravas) are embedded in the larger dharma-crisis of Kurukṣetra and in the narrative architecture of parva and adhyāya.

What is happening in the narrative?

Sañjaya signals the end of the chapter that recounts the confrontation/meeting between Sātyaki and Bhūriśravas, situating it within Bhīṣma Parva and the Bhīṣma’s downfall section; it is the formal closing line marking completion of that chapter.
