Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it teaches how the Mahābhārata frames its narrative ethically and historically through careful textual markers—closing a unit of war narration and situating it within the larger parvan structure.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narration reaches a chapter boundary: Sañjaya’s report concludes the eighty-second chapter within the Bhīṣma Parva, specifically in the episode dealing with Bhīṣma’s fall and the chariot-warrior duel context.
