usa mahāsamare meṃ eka dūsare ke vadha ke liye ekatra hue vijayābhilāṣī sainikoṃ kā baṛā bhayaṅkara saṅgrāma huā ||
iti śrīmahābhārate bhīṣmaparvaṇi bhīṣmavadhaparvaṇi bhīṣmopadeśe pañcadaśādhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
isa prakāra śrīmahābhārata bhīṣmaparva ke antargata bhīṣmavadhaparva meṃ bhīṣma ke upadeśa-viṣayaka eka sau pandrahavāṃ adhyāya pūrā huā |
قال سانجيا: في تلك المعركة العظمى، انخرط الجنود الطامحون إلى الظفر—وقد اجتمعوا بقصد أن يقتل بعضهم بعضًا—في قتالٍ رهيبٍ بالغ الشدة. وهكذا انتهى الفصل الخامس عشر بعد المئة من «بِهِيشْما بَرْفَا» من «المهابهارتا المجيدة»، ضمن قسم سقوط بِهِيشْما، في شأن تعليمات بِهِيشْما.

The verse functions mainly as a colophon and narrative summation: it underscores the grim reality of war—victory-desire drives warriors into mutual slaughter—while framing the surrounding material as Bhīṣma’s instructive discourse (upadeśa), reminding the reader that ethical reflection is embedded within the battlefield narrative.
Sañjaya reports that a fierce battle erupted among assembled soldiers intent on killing one another to secure victory. The passage then formally closes the chapter, identifying it as part of Bhīṣma Parva, within the subsection on Bhīṣma’s fall, and connected to Bhīṣma’s teachings.
