Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon marking the close of a chapter and locating it within the epic’s structure. Ethically, it reminds readers that the Mahābhārata frames moral inquiry through situated dialogue—here, Bhīṣma and Karṇa—within the pressures of war and duty.

What is happening in the narrative?

The verse does not advance the plot directly; it signals that the chapter has concluded and identifies its setting: Bhīṣma Parva, in the episode concerning Bhīṣma’s fall, during the Bhīṣma–Karṇa conversation, as reported by Sañjaya.
