Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Even when conflict looms, dharma requires sincere attempts at reconciliation through counsel and diplomacy; only after exhausting peaceful means does recourse to force become thinkable.

What is happening in the narrative?

This is the chapter-ending colophon: it marks the close of the eighty-fourth chapter in the Udyoga Parva’s Bhagavad-yāna section, indicating that the narration has reached the point of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s departure on his mission.
