Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse primarily teaches how the epic frames events within ordered textual and moral architecture: episodes conclude with clear markers, reminding the reader that actions and outcomes are part of a larger dharmic narrative of cause, restraint, and consequence.
This line does not advance dialogue; it signals the end of a chapter in the Ādi Parva, specifically within the Caitraratha section, identifying the episode as one involving the defeat of the Gandharvas.
