Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

As a colophon, the line does not teach through direct instruction but signals the ethical frame of the episode: destructive schemes rooted in adharma (such as covert arson) stand opposed to the protection of life and rightful conduct, and the text highlights the moral weight of intention and method in political action.

What is happening in the narrative?

This is an end-of-chapter closing statement indicating that the chapter concerning the burning of the lac-house (Jatugṛha-dāha) within the Jatugṛha section of the Ādi Parva has concluded.
