Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement; its function is to preserve textual integrity by clearly marking the chapter’s end and locating the episode within the epic’s larger moral-historical framework.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrative action pauses: the speaker’s line is followed by the formal closing that identifies the work (Mahābhārata), the book (Ādi Parva), the sub-section (Caitraratha), and the specific episode (Tapatī), concluding Chapter 170.
