Educational Q&A
The verse is a colophon marking the chapter’s end, but it implicitly teaches that the war’s events are not mere spectacle: they are preserved as accountable history within a dharmic framework, where actions in battle carry moral and karmic weight.
Sanjaya concludes the chapter by formally stating its placement within the Mahābhārata: Bhīṣma Parva, the Bhīṣma-fall episode, specifically the portion describing the Haiḍimba (Ghaṭotkaca-related) battle.
