Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a teaching verse: it marks the textual boundary of a chapter and situates it within the Mahābhārata’s internal divisions (Parva/Adhyāya), preserving the work’s organization for accurate study and transmission.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrative content is not advanced here; the text is concluding a chapter identified as the “Vasiṣṭha’s grief” episode within the Caitraratha section of the Ādi Parva.
