Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon (closing formula), not a spoken doctrinal verse. It frames the Bhagavad Gītā as Upaniṣadic teaching (brahmavidyā) presented as a yoga-śāstra, and it names the chapter’s theme: Vibhūti Yoga—recognizing the Divine through its supreme manifestations, which supports devotion and steadiness of mind amid moral conflict.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is marking the conclusion of the tenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gītā within the Mahābhārata’s Bhīṣma Parva. It situates the teaching as part of the Kṛṣṇa–Arjuna dialogue on the battlefield context, and formally announces the chapter title “Vibhūti Yoga.”
