वैशम्पायन उवाच
As a colophon, the verse primarily teaches how the epic frames moral inquiry through structured narrative units: episodes like the Sūrya–Kuntī encounter and the Kuṇḍalāharaṇa theme foreground the ethical tension between personal duty, social consequence, and the lasting impact of choices made under extraordinary circumstances.
This line is not a plot event but an editorial/narrative closure: it marks the end of the chapter within Vana Parva, specifying that the chapter belongs to the Kuṇḍalāharaṇa section and the episode of the meeting between Sūrya and Kuntī, as recited by Vaiśampāyana.
