Educational Q&A
This is a colophon-style conclusion rather than a doctrinal verse: it teaches how the epic frames warfare ethically by situating personal combats (like Suśarmā vs Arjuna) within the broader dharmic narrative of Kurukṣetra, reminding the reader that each encounter is part of a larger moral and historical arc.
Sañjaya marks the end of the eighty-fourth chapter in Bhīṣma Parva, noting that the chapter’s focus is the confrontation between Suśarmā and Arjuna during the seventh day of the war, within the larger episode associated with Bhīṣma’s eventual fall.
