Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon: it does not teach a doctrine directly but identifies the completed unit as the seventh Gītā chapter, titled “Jñāna–Vijñāna Yoga,” framing the Gītā as Upaniṣadic Brahma-knowledge and a yoga treatise within the Kṛṣṇa–Arjuna dialogue.
The text is marking a structural transition: it closes the seventh chapter of the Bhagavad Gītā and notes its placement within the Mahābhārata’s Bhīṣma Parva (as the thirty-first adhyāya in that parva’s numbering). It is not a spoken utterance by Arjuna despite the speaker label.
