وهكذا، في «شري مهابهاراتا»، ضمن «أوديوغا بارفا» وفي القسم المعروف بـ«بهاغافد-يانا»، يختتم الفصل السادس والأربعون بعد المئة، المتعلّق بلقاء كونتي وكارنا.

Though this line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse, it frames the ethical weight of the Kuntī–Karṇa encounter: dharma is tested where blood-relationship, personal honor, and political allegiance collide, just before war becomes unavoidable.
The text signals the completion of the chapter describing Kuntī’s meeting with Karṇa in the Udyoga Parva, situated within the Bhagavad-yāna Parva—an episode that occurs amid final negotiations and preparations leading toward the Kurukṣetra war.
