Educational Q&A
This verse is a colophon marking the end of the chapter; it does not add new doctrine, but frames the preceding material as Vāsudeva’s sāntvana—ethical-spiritual consolation meant to steady the listener’s mind in dharma after turmoil.
The narrator (Vaiśaṃpāyana) signals the formal close of the sixty-second chapter within the Anugītā portion of the Aśvamedhika Parva, identifying its theme as Vāsudeva (Kṛṣṇa)’s consolatory discourse.
