This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it marks the formal close of a chapter and situates it within the Mahābhārata’s larger structure (Parva, sub-section, and dialogue frame), emphasizing careful transmission and contextual reading.
Sañjaya, the narrator reporting events to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, signals that the twenty-first chapter has concluded, identifying its placement in Bhīṣma Parva and naming the dialogue frame as a conversation between Yudhiṣṭhira and Arjuna.
