Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line functions as a colophon marking the completion of a chapter whose subject is senānīti—principles of military command—framed within rājadharma, implying that the use of force and leadership in war must be regulated by disciplined policy and dharmic responsibility.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text signals the end of the hundredth chapter in the Rājadharmānuśāsana portion of the Śānti Parva. It is a formal closing statement rather than a spoken instruction, indicating that the discussion on military leadership has concluded at this point.
