We think of the Mahabharata as the story of a great war, but its very first pages tell us a different tale—a cautionary one. The legend of King Janamejaya's serpent sacrifice isn't just an epilogue; it's a profound warning about how the poison of vengeance can corrupt even the descendants of heroes.
This story teaches us that the greatest battle is not on a field like Kurukshetra, but against the fire of hatred within our own hearts. The Sarpa Satra was stopped, but the cycle of enmity it represented became a permanent part of the mythos, proving that some wars never truly end.
