इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत वनपर्वके अन्तर्गत आरणेयपर्वमें नकुल आदि चारों भाइयोंके मूर्च्छित होकर गिरनेसे सम्बन्ध रखनेवाला तीन सौ बारहवाँ अध्याय प्रा हुआ ॥/
Iti prakāraṃ Śrīmahābhārata-vanaparvake antargata āraṇeyaparvame Nakulādi cāroṃ bhāiyoṃ ke mūrcchita hokara girane se sambandha rakhanevālā trīśata-dvādaśa-tamo 'dhyāyaḥ prāptaḥ.
وهكذا، في «فانا بارفا» من «المهابهاراتا الشريفة»—ضمن قسم «آرانِيَة»—يبتدئ الفصلُ الثاني عشر بعد الثلاثمائة، المتعلّقُ بالحادثة التي سقط فيها ناكولا وإخوته الأربعة الآخرون مُغشىً عليهم إلى الأرض.

Educational Q&A
Although this line is a chapter-marker rather than a direct instruction, it frames an ethical trial in the forest: the brothers’ collapse signals the consequences of acting without proper discernment and restraint, setting the stage for dharma-centered questioning and right conduct.
The text announces the start of a chapter in the Āraṇeya portion of Vana Parva, tied to the incident where Nakula and the other brothers fall unconscious—an episode that leads into the well-known forest encounter involving a Yakṣa and a test of wisdom.
