Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a didactic verse: its function is to frame the text—identifying the epic, the parva, the sub-section, and the chapter—thereby emphasizing orderly transmission and contextual reading of dharma discussions within the larger movement toward conflict.

What is happening in the narrative?

The chapter concludes. The colophon states that the passage belongs to the Udyoga Parva, within the Bhagavad-yāna (Kṛṣṇa’s embassy) context, and is associated with Kuntī’s discourse—situating the reader amid negotiations and moral counsel preceding the Kurukṣetra war.
