Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the ethical atmosphere of the surrounding episode—war pushes dharma to its limits, and the epic repeatedly invites reflection on how vows, anger, and expediency can conflict with ideals of righteous conduct.
This line marks the conclusion of a chapter in the Droṇa Parva, within the Jayadratha-slaying section, specifically the episode describing Bhūriśravas’s death; it functions as a formal closure and locator for the preceding events.
