Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon, not a didactic verse: it primarily teaches how the Mahābhārata is organized—by parva, sub-episode, and chapter—marking the completion of the Arjuna–Agni dialogue within the Khāṇḍava-dāha narrative unit.
No new event occurs here; the text formally closes Adhyāya 223 of the Ādi Parva, indicating that the portion dealing with the Arjuna–Agni conversation in the Khāṇḍava-burning episode has concluded.
