Educational Q&A
Even amid forest hardships and sudden danger, dharma expresses itself as protection, timely help, and the restoration of order; the colophon underscores that the episode’s moral arc is toward rescue and re-establishing safety.
This is the chapter-ending colophon stating that the sixty-third chapter of the Nalopākhyāna in the Vana Parva has concluded, specifically the section about Damayantī’s deliverance after being seized by a great serpent (ajagara).
