Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

As indicated by the chapter’s framing (“Hanumān–Bhīma dialogue” within a pilgrimage setting), the episode’s ethical thrust is the disciplining of power by dharma: physical might is not supreme unless guided by humility, restraint, and reverence for elders and higher ideals.

What is happening in the narrative?

This line is a concluding colophon. It announces that, within Vana Parva’s pilgrimage section narrated in connection with Lomasa, the chapter describing the dialogue between Hanumān and Bhīmasena has ended (counted here as the 148th chapter).
