Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals the formal completion of the chapter within the Āpaddharma portion of Śānti Parva, framing Bhīṣma’s guidance on righteous conduct under conditions of crisis.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrator/editorial voice closes the chapter: after Bhīṣma’s instruction (addressed to Yudhiṣṭhira in this broader context), the text marks the end of the 131st chapter of the Āpaddharma section within Śānti Parva.
