Thus, in the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the Udyoga Parva, in the section known as the Bhagavad-yāna Parva, the portion titled “Bhagavad-vākya,” the one-hundred-and-forty-seventh chapter concludes. (This is a colophon marking the end of the chapter rather than a spoken verse.)
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon, not a doctrinal verse: it signals the completion of a chapter within the Udyoga Parva’s Bhagavad-yāna section, framing Kṛṣṇa’s counsel/embassy material as authoritative ‘Bhagavad-vākya’ and situating it within the ethical build-up to war.
The narrative unit labeled ‘Bhagavad-vākya’ within the Bhagavad-yāna Parva has concluded; the text is marking the end of the 147th chapter in this section of Udyoga Parva (the pre-war preparations and negotiations).
