Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the line does not teach a doctrine directly; it frames the episode within the dharmic institution of the Aśvamedha, emphasizing that post-war governance is anchored in ritual duty, social order, and the ethical responsibilities of sovereignty.
The text marks the end of the eighty-first chapter in the Āśvamedhika Parva, within the Anugītā section, identifying the chapter’s subject as the following/pursuit of the sacrificial horse—an episode tied to the progress and protection of the Aśvamedha rite.
