Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it teaches how the Mahābhārata is organized into parvas and adhyāyas, and it formally closes an episode (upākhyāna), emphasizing textual order and continuity.
The text is not advancing the plot directly; it is announcing that the chapter concerning the Citrāṅgada episode has concluded within the Sambhava Parva of the Ādi Parva, preparing the reader for the next section.
