Educational Q&A
This line functions as a colophon: it teaches how the Mahābhārata organizes moral and narrative material into clearly bounded chapters and sub-sections, emphasizing orderly transmission of tradition rather than presenting a new ethical injunction in itself.
The text announces the completion of the twenty-fifth chapter focused on Garuḍa’s story, situated within the Āstīka section of the Ādi Parva, marking a formal end to that chapter’s narrative unit.
