Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse; its function is to preserve textual order and integrity by formally marking the end of a chapter and identifying its placement within the Mahābhārata’s larger structure.
No new narrative action occurs here. The text announces that the chapter dealing with the Uttara–Yāyāti-related material has concluded within the Sambhava Parva of the Ādi Parva.
