Educational Q&A
This is a colophon-style closing line rather than a doctrinal verse. Its implicit lesson is about disciplined narration and accountability: even amid chaotic war and ethically fraught acts (like the impending slaying of Droṇa), the tradition frames events carefully, marking sections and conclusions to preserve clarity and responsibility in recounting history.
The text formally concludes the 187th chapter, identified as dealing with Nakula’s battle, and situates it within the larger Droṇa Parva and specifically within the sub-section on Droṇa’s death. It signals a transition to the next unit of the war narrative.
