Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the line does not teach through direct instruction; it signals closure and highlights the ethical frame of the preceding episode—how vows, personal honor, and kṣatriya-dharma can generate unavoidable conflict, even among revered figures.
This is the chapter-ending colophon stating that the Ambā-upākhyāna episode—specifically the combat between Paraśurāma (Rāma) and Bhīṣma—has concluded, and it identifies the work (Mahābhārata), the parva (Udyoga), and the chapter number (182nd).
