Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

As a colophon, the verse itself teaches by framing the preceding episode as a purposeful saṃvāda (dialogue) meant to guide conduct—especially the ethical and dharmic dimensions of household life, marital duty, and self-discipline—before the story moves on with Kṛṣṇa’s departure.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is concluding the chapter/episode: it identifies the book (Vana Parva), the sub-episode (Draupadī–Satyabhāmā dialogue), and the immediate narrative marker (Kṛṣṇa’s departure), indicating a transition to the next chapter.
