Educational Q&A
This verse functions as a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it underscores that even in wartime narrative, ethical counsel (saṁvāda) remains central, and it formally situates the reader within the epic’s layered structure (parva and sub-parva).
Sanjaya signals the completion of the chapter focused on the Bhishma–Duryodhana dialogue, marking a transition point in the Bhishma Parva and indicating that the account belongs to the Bhishma-vadha (Bhishma’s fall) section.
