Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the narrative ethically by marking the close of a chapter in the peace-mission and negotiation context, reminding the reader that war is preceded by deliberation, counsel, and opportunities for restraint—key concerns of dharma.
Sañjaya’s narrated unit concludes: the text formally ends the sixty-ninth chapter within the Udyoga Parva’s Yāna–Saṃdhi section, signaling a transition point in the account of diplomatic efforts before the Kurukṣetra war.
