Hiḍimbā’s Petition, Conditional Union with Bhīma, and the Birth-Naming of Ghaṭotkaca (आदि पर्व, अध्याय १४३)
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्ाभारत आदिपरववके अन्तर्गत जदुगृहपर्वमें दुर्योधनपरामर्शविषयक एक सौ इकतालीसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
Iti prakāraṁ Śrīmahābhārata Ādiparva ke antargata Jatugṛhapārva meṁ Duryodhana-parāmarśa-viṣayaka eka-śata-ikatālīsavāṁ adhyāya pūrā huā.
So endet das einhunderteinundvierzigste Kapitel des Jatugṛha-Abschnitts innerhalb des Ādi Parva des Śrī Mahābhārata, das Duryodhanas Rat und Erwägungen behandelt. Die Schlussnotiz hebt die ethische Spannung der Erzählung hervor: geheime Ränke und manipulativer Zuspruch stehen in scharfem Gegensatz zu den Forderungen des Dharma und zu durchsichtigem, offenem Handeln.
दुर्योधन उवाच
Even when presented as ‘counsel,’ strategies rooted in deception and harm violate dharma; the epic frames such deliberations as ethically corrosive and socially destabilizing.
This line is a concluding colophon stating that the chapter has ended; it identifies the text as part of the Ādi Parva, within the Jatugṛha episode, and notes that the chapter’s subject concerns Duryodhana’s counsel/deliberations.
