Śaineya–Bhūriśravas: Genealogy, Svayaṃvara Contest, and the Maheśvara Boon
इति श्रीमहा भारते द्रोणपर्वणि जयद्रथवधपर्वणि सात्यकिप्रवेशे सात्यकिपराक्रमे सप्तदशाधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvaṇi jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi sātyakipraveśe sātyakiparākrame saptadaśādhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
So endet im verehrten Mahābhārata, innerhalb des Droṇa-Parva—insbesondere im Abschnitt über die Tötung Jayadrathas—das hundertundsiebzehnte Kapitel, das Sātyakis Eintritt in die Schlachtordnung und seine Taten der Tapferkeit schildert. Der Kolophon rahmt die Episode als moralisch aufgeladenen Wendepunkt des Krieges, in dem entschlossenes Handeln und kriegerische Vollendung in den Dienst eines Gelübdes gestellt werden, während die Kosten des Konflikts weiter steigen.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the episode ethically by highlighting purposeful valor (parākrama) and decisive entry (praveśa) undertaken in pursuit of a vowed aim within the constraints and tragedies of dharma in war.
This is the chapter-ending colophon: it marks the close of the 117th chapter in Droṇa Parva’s Jayadratha-slaying section, identifying the chapter’s focus as Sātyaki’s penetration into the opposing formation and his heroic feats.
