Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon marking the close of a chapter and situating it within the larger structure of the Mahābhārata. Its ethical value is indirect: it frames the narrative as part of the Udyoga Parva, where choices, counsel, and preparations shape the moral trajectory toward war.
The text signals the conclusion of the chapter identified as the episode concerning the search for the excellent charioteer Mātali, within the Bhagavad-yāna section of the Udyoga Parva.
