Educational Q&A

As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction but through framing: it signals that the account of Amba and the description of Bhīṣma’s powers belong to the ethical logic of the epic—past deeds, vows, and injuries generate consequences that shape the coming war.

This line functions as a chapter-ending marker, identifying the text’s location: within the Udyoga Parva, in the Amba episode, concluding the chapter that narratively contextualizes Bhīṣma’s capacities and the tensions leading toward the Kurukṣetra conflict.
