Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon, not a teaching verse: it formally marks the close of the chapter and identifies the larger section (Bhagavad-yāna Parvan) and the episode (Vidulā’s instruction to her son), framing the preceding counsel as an ethical admonition within the Udyoga Parva’s preparations and negotiations.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrative unit titled “Vidulā’s instruction to her son” has concluded; the text signals the end of the 135th chapter within the Udyoga Parva, specifically inside the Bhagavad-yāna Parvan (the portion dealing with the Lord’s embassy/journey connected with peace efforts before war).
