قال سانجيا: «وهكذا، في الشري مهابهاراتا، ضمن بارفا درونا، في القسم المتعلّق بقتل جايادراثا، تنتهي هنا الفصل المئة والأربعون—وهو الذي يتناول قتل ألامبوشا». وهذه الخاتمة تُعلِن انقضاء هذا المشهد ضمن القوس الأخلاقي والاستراتيجي للحرب، حيث تُصوَّر أعمال العنف الحاسمة بوصفها ثمرة النذور والواجب (الدارما) وزخم ساحة القتال الذي لا يُقاوَم.

Educational Q&A

This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal instruction: it teaches how the epic frames violent episodes within ordered textual units (parva/adhyāya) and moral causality—acts like the slaying of key warriors are presented as consequences of vows, duty, and the unfolding of fate within dharma-contested war.

The narrator Sañjaya signals the conclusion of the 140th chapter in the Droṇa Parva, specifically the episode about the killing of Alambuṣa, situated within the broader sub-section focused on the slaying of Jayadratha.
