Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Even at the brink of conflict, dharma prioritizes sincere efforts toward reconciliation. Kṛṣṇa’s ‘yāna’ (mission) is framed as a moral duty: exhausting peaceful counsel before accepting the tragic necessity of war.

What is happening in the narrative?

This line is a chapter-ending colophon. It signals the close of the eighty-third chapter within the Udyoga Parva’s Bhagavad-yāna section, specifically the episode describing Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s departure on his diplomatic mission.
