Educational Q&A
This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal instruction: it teaches how the epic self-organizes its narrative—placing particular battles and heroes within a larger ethical and strategic arc of the Kurukṣetra war, and signaling closure and continuity through formal markers.
Sañjaya formally concludes the chapter, identifying it as the ninety-first chapter within the Bhīṣma Parva, in the portion connected with Bhīṣma’s eventual fall, and noting that the chapter’s focus is the Haiḍimba (Ghaṭotkaca)-related battle.
