Educational Q&A
The chapter’s stated subject is the restraint of Aurva’s wrath, underscoring a dharmic principle: even justified rage must be governed, because uncontrolled anger becomes destructive and undermines righteousness.
This line functions as a concluding colophon: it announces that the chapter—within the Ādi Parva’s Caitraratha section and focused on pacifying Aurva’s anger—has been completed.
