Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a teaching verse: it frames Kuntī’s counsel as part of the ethical and political preparation for the coming conflict, emphasizing that her words belong to the dharma-centered deliberations preceding war.

What is happening in the narrative?

The chapter concludes. The colophon identifies the work (Mahābhārata), the book (Udyoga Parva), the subsection (Bhagavad-yāna Parva), and the focus (Kuntī’s speech), marking the end of the 137th chapter in that sequence.
