Так, в «Шри Махабхарате», в «Шанти-парве» — а именно в разделе наставлений о царском долге (раджадхарме) — завершается сотая глава, в изложении принципов военного предводительства и командования. Это колофон, отмечающий окончание одной части учения, а не новое доктринальное утверждение.

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon: it signals the completion of a chapter within Bhīṣma’s instruction on rājadharma, specifically the discussion on senānīti—principles of army leadership and conduct—framing the ethical domain as part of righteous governance.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is closing a chapter in the Śānti Parva. Bhīṣma’s discourse to Yudhiṣṭhira continues across chapters; here the scribe/editor marks that the discourse on military leadership has concluded for this chapter.
