Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction but through framing: it situates a violent episode (a named slaying) within the larger dharmic catastrophe of the Kurukṣetra war, reminding the reader that each act in war is morally weighty and narratively consequential, bound to duty, allegiance, and the escalating costs of conflict.
This is the chapter-ending colophon: it announces that the 115th chapter has concluded, titled “The Slaying of Jalasaṃdha,” and notes its narrative setting—Sātyaki’s entry into the Kaurava forces—within the Jayadratha-slaying section of the Droṇa Parva.
