Educational Q&A

The colophon signals closure but also highlights a moral arc: actions rooted in envy and adharma do not end with outward victory; they generate inner torment (santāpa) and set in motion further ethical and social collapse.

This is the chapter-ending colophon for Sabhā Parva, Adhyāya 53, within the Dyūta (dice) unit, indicating that the portion dealing with Duryodhana’s distress has concluded.
