Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon, not a doctrinal instruction: it signals closure and preserves the work’s organization (parva/adhyāya), helping readers track the narrative and its ethical discussions within the larger Mahābhārata framework.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrative portion has concluded; the text formally announces that the eighty-ninth chapter in the Sambhava Parva (within the Ādi Parva), associated with the Uttara–Yāyāti topic, has ended.
