Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The colophon signals that the chapter’s focus is Karṇa’s boastful self-praise during a martial episode, implicitly contrasting valor with the ethical danger of pride (ahaṅkāra) and competitive speech that inflames conflict.

What is happening in the narrative?

This is an end-of-chapter notice stating that the forty-eighth chapter—about Karṇa’s self-laudatory words spoken during the northern cattle-seizure in the Goharaṇa section of the Virāṭa Parva—has concluded.
