Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Though the line is primarily narrative and colophonic, placed within Rājadharma it implicitly reinforces that social institutions like marriage/alliances and the orderly conclusion of disputes or courtship should align with dharma—supporting stability, legitimacy, and ethical governance.

What is happening in the narrative?

The verse states that Nārada succeeds in obtaining (i.e., marrying or securing) the maiden who is Sūñjaya’s daughter, and then it closes the chapter, identifying its location within the Śānti Parva’s Rājadharma instruction and the Nārada–Parvata sub-narrative.
