Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This closing colophon frames the preceding discussion as a teaching on kartavya (duty): the ethical emphasis is on right conduct and responsibilities (especially in household and relational contexts) as articulated through Draupadī’s counsel in dialogue form.

What is happening in the narrative?

This line is a formal end-marker (colophon) stating that the chapter/section has concluded: it locates the text within the Vana Parva and identifies the topic as the Draupadī–Satyabhāmā dialogue, specifically the narration about Draupadī’s duties.
