Sañjaya sprach: So ist im Śrī Mahābhārata, innerhalb des Droṇa Parva—genauer im Abschnitt über die Tötung Jayadrathas—das hundertvierte Kapitel, das vom verworrenen und chaotischen Kampf handelt, vollendet. Die Schlussformel betont die unerbittliche Komplexität des Krieges und rahmt die Erzählung als moralische Aufzeichnung von Handlungen und Folgen im größeren Ringen um das Dharma.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the battle narrative as a documented sequence within a dharmic conflict, emphasizing that war becomes 'saṅkula' (entangled/chaotic) and that events are to be understood in terms of moral causality and consequence.
This is the formal closing statement for the 104th chapter of the Jayadratha-slaying section within the Droṇa Parva, indicating that the chapter focused on the confused, densely interwoven fighting and is now complete.
