Educational Q&A
Even a chapter-ending colophon highlights a central Mahābhārata concern: pratijñā (a vow) is not merely personal resolve but a moral commitment whose consequences unfold in the public arena of dharma and war.
This line marks the formal end of the seventy-fourth chapter within the Droṇa Parva, locating it inside the Pratijñā Parva and the Jayadratha-focused episode, thereby signaling a completed segment of the war narrative tied to vows and Jayadratha.
