1 month ago
17

This parva represents the aftermath of the Kurukshetra war: the violence is over, the battlefield quiets, and now comes reflection, remorse, and rebuilding. Yudhishthira, crushed by grief, must be persuaded to take the throne and restore order. Bhishma’s long teachings on dharma, governance, and liberation act as the moral “settling of the dust,” helping to guide society from chaos back to righteousness and peace.
