Educational Q&A
The chapter’s closing highlights an ethical thread: instruction and authority must be exercised with restraint, because humiliation and wounded honor can harden into lasting enmity. It points to how personal pride and the misuse of power in formative relationships can become causes of later conflict.
This is a colophon concluding the chapter: it states that the 137th chapter of the Sambhava section within the Ādi Parva has ended, and that its content concerned Droṇa’s disciplining/instruction of Drupada.
