Educational Q&A
Even a brief colophon points to a central Mahābhārata concern: extraordinary power (astras) is gained through disciplined learning and a teacher’s transmission, but its moral weight depends on the wielder’s dharma—how and why that power is later applied.
This line is a chapter-ending colophon stating that, in the Ādi Parva’s Sambhava Parva, the chapter concludes on the topic of Droṇa receiving weapons (astras) from the Bhārgava, i.e., Paraśurāma.
