धृतराष्ट्र-संजय-संवादः — सात्यकि-अलम्बुसयोर्युद्धवर्णनम्
Dhṛtarāṣṭra–Saṃjaya Dialogue; Account of Sātyaki vs Alambusa
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत द्रोणपर्वके अन्तर्गत जयद्रथवधपर्वमें सात्यकिका कौरव-सेनामें प्रवेशविषयक एक सौ बारहवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṁ śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvake antargataṁ jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi sātyakikā kaurava-senāyāṁ praveśa-viṣayakam ekaśata-dvādaśo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
Sañjaya sprach: So endet das hundertzwölfte Kapitel des Jayadratha-Tötungsabschnitts innerhalb des Droṇa Parva des Śrī Mahābhārata, das Sātyakis Eindringen in das Heer der Kauravas schildert. Die Schlussformel markiert einen Übergang im Kriegsgeschehen und betont den unaufhaltsamen Schwung pflichtgebundenen Kampfes sowie das schwere moralische Gewicht der Taten, die im Streben nach Sieg und Vergeltung begangen werden.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon-like closing, the verse does not teach a doctrine directly; it frames the war episode as a completed unit, reminding the reader that heroic action in battle is bound to responsibility (dharma) and carries ethical gravity, even when undertaken for a just cause or urgent vow.
The text signals the end of a chapter in which Sātyaki’s entry into the Kaurava battle formation is the main topic, within the broader Jayadratha-slaying sequence of the Droṇa Parva, as narrated by Sañjaya.
