Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

As a colophon, the verse primarily teaches how the Mahābhārata frames moral instruction: an upākhyāna (illustrative tale) is embedded within a larger pilgrimage discourse, signaling that sacred travel is accompanied by ethical reflection and remembered exempla.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrator Lomāśa concludes the chapter, stating that the 137th chapter—focused on the Yavakrīta episode within the Tīrtha-yātrā Parva of the Vana Parva—has been completed.
