नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not add new dialogue but frames the completed episode: it points the reader to the ethical burden of moha (delusion) and kāma-driven choices, implying that clarity, restraint, and dharma-aligned action are necessary to avoid bondage and regret.
This line is the formal closing statement of the chapter in the Gālava narrative, identifying the textual location (Udyoga Parva, Bhagavad-yāna section) and naming the episode theme as “Yayāti’s Delusion,” thereby marking the end of that chapter’s narration.
