Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse chiefly teaches how the Mahābhārata frames violent events within an ordered textual and moral record: battles are narrated not as isolated brutality but as episodes embedded in a larger inquiry into dharma, responsibility, and consequence.
This line signals the end of the chapter in Karṇa Parva that centers on the combat between Sahadeva and Duḥśāsana; it is a formal closing statement rather than a spoken battlefield utterance.
