Educational Q&A

As a colophon, the verse itself teaches no new doctrine, but it frames an ethically charged episode: the use of deceit and arson as political strategy is adharma, while vigilance, wise counsel, and protecting life are aligned with dharma.

This is the chapter-ending colophon marking the conclusion of the chapter that narrates the burning of the lac-house (jatugṛha), a pivotal event in the Ādi Parva’s lac-house episode.
