Transliteration

iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi bhagavadyānaparvaṇi mātalivarānveṣaṇe trayadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ

Translation

وهكذا ينتهي الفصل الثالث بعد المئة من «أوديوغا بارفا» في «المهابهاراتا» المباركة، ضمن القسم المتعلّق بسفارة الربّ (بهغفدْيانا)، في حلقة البحث عن عريسٍ لائق لابنة مَاتَلي. وتُثبت هذه الخاتمة إغلاق الفصل وتضع السرد في سياقه الأوسع من المساعي الأخلاقية والسياسية لدرء الحرب بالمشورة، وبعقد التحالف، وبحسن الاختيار.

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the ethical-political setting: choices of alliance, counsel, and rightful selection (vara) are part of dharma-driven statecraft aimed at stabilizing society and, ideally, preventing destructive conflict.

What is happening in the narrative?

This is the chapter-ending marker stating that the 103rd chapter concludes within the Udyoga Parva, specifically in the Bhagavad-yāna section, during the episode where Mātali searches for a worthy bridegroom for his daughter.
