Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

As a colophon, the line does not present a new doctrinal teaching; it frames the preceding material as a Bhīma–Yudhiṣṭhira deliberation within the Jātugṛha episode, implicitly highlighting the Mahābhārata’s ethical method: decisions under danger are weighed through dialogue, with dharma and prudence held in tension.

What is happening in the narrative?

This is an end-of-chapter closing statement indicating that the chapter focused on the conversation between Bhīmasena and Yudhiṣṭhira within the Jātugṛha Parva (the Lac House episode) has concluded.
