Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

As a colophon, the verse does not teach a new doctrine directly; it highlights that Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s counsel is the thematic center of this chapter, implying that ethical discernment (dharma) and the weight of vows (pratijñā) guide action even amid war.

What is happening in the narrative?

Sañjaya signals the formal close of the chapter: the text has completed a unit within Droṇa Parva, in the Pratijñā-focused section, centered on Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s words—marking a transition to the next episode.
