Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This is a colophon-style conclusion rather than a doctrinal verse: it highlights disciplined narrative order and the dharmic value of strategic restraint—how the Pandavas proceed carefully and lawfully during exile, completing each stage of their concealed entry without rashness.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrator (Vaiśampāyana) formally announces the completion of the chapter titled “Arjuna’s Entry,” situating it within the Virata Parva and within the sub-episode concerning the Pandavas’ entry, functioning as an editorial/narrative marker of transition.
