Educational Q&A
The colophon closes an episode centered on how unchecked pride and humiliation can push a leader toward extreme, self-harming vows, and how the moral quality of counsel influences whether one turns toward restraint and dharma or toward escalation and ruin.
This is an end-of-chapter closing statement: Vaiśampāyana signals that the 250th chapter has concluded, situated in the Ghoṣa-yātrā portion of the Vana Parva, specifically during the episode of Duryodhana’s intention to undertake prāyopaveśana (fasting unto death) and in connection with Karṇa’s words.
