What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a teaching verse; it frames the ethical gravity of the surrounding narrative by marking the chapter as part of Gāndhārī’s admonitory discourse in the aftermath of the dice-game, where questions of dharma, restraint, and responsibility are foregrounded.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is concluding Adhyāya 75 of the Sabhā Parva, specifically within the Anudyūta (renewed dice-game) section and the episode labeled 'Gāndhārī’s words,' signaling the end of that chapter in the Gītā Press edition’s structuring.
