Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon marking the close of a chapter; its function is organizational rather than doctrinal, situating the reader within the Mahābhārata’s layered structure (parva, sub-parva, and upākhyāna).

What is happening in the narrative?

No new narrative event occurs here; the text formally concludes Adhyāya 230 and identifies its placement: Ādi Parva → Mayadarśana-parvan → Śārṅgika-upākhyāna.
