Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse; it primarily indicates the formal conclusion of the chapter and locates it within the Mahābhārata’s structure (Udyoga Parva → Sanatsujāta Parva).

What is happening in the narrative?

The text signals that the forty-sixth chapter of the Sanatsujāta section has ended, marking a transition point after Sanatsujāta’s discourse within the Udyoga Parva’s broader narrative of pre-war deliberations.
