द्रोणपर्व — अध्याय ९०: हार्दिक्यस्य पराक्रमः

Kṛtavarmā’s Stand against the Pāṇḍavas

इति श्रीमहाभारते द्रोणपर्वणि जयद्रथवधपर्वणि अर्जुनरणप्रवेशे अष्टाशीतितमो<ध्याय:

iti śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvaṇi jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi arjunaraṇapraveśe aṣṭāśītitamo 'dhyāyaḥ

يختم سنجيا: هكذا، في المهابهارتا المقدّسة، ضمن «دروṇa پرفا»—وخاصة في القسم المتعلّق بقتل جايدراتها—تنتهي هذه السورة/الفصل الثامن والثمانون، واصفًا دخول أرجونا إلى قلب المعركة. وتضع صيغة الختام هذا الحدث بوصفه منعطفًا أخلاقيًا حاسمًا في الحرب، حيث تتلاقى النذور والمسؤولية وعواقب حماية الدارما أو خيانتها في ميدان القتال.

Educational Q&A

As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the episode ethically: war is narrated as a field where vows and accountability matter. Arjuna’s entry into battle is presented as purposeful action tied to justice and responsibility, not mere violence.

Sañjaya marks the close of a chapter in the Droṇa Parva, within the Jayadratha-slaying section, identifying it as the chapter describing Arjuna’s entry into combat—setting the stage for the decisive pursuit and the moral stakes surrounding Jayadratha’s fate.
