Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The chapter-ending colophon highlights a dharmic pattern: after confronting and removing a harmful force, the protagonists proceed under the guidance of a r̥ṣi. Ethical action is framed not merely as strength, but as strength aligned with wise counsel and social responsibility.

What is happening in the narrative?

This is the formal closing statement for the chapter. It signals that the narrative has covered the Pāṇḍavas’ entry into Ekacakrā and their audience with Vyāsa, and that the 155th chapter (within the stated parvan context) is complete.
