This line is a colophon rather than a didactic verse: its function is to authenticate and locate the narrative within the Mahābhārata’s structure. Ethically, it underscores the epic’s concern for contextual reading—events (such as Draupadī’s origin) are to be understood within their proper section and sequence, not in isolation.
The chapter concludes. The text signals that the account being presented belongs to the Ādi Parva, specifically the Caitraratha section, and that the chapter’s theme concerns Draupadī’s sambhava (origin/birth).
