iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi yānasaṃdhiparvaṇi bhīṣmadroṇavākye ekonapañcāśattamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
So endet im Śrī Mahābhārata, innerhalb des Udyoga Parva—genauer im Abschnitt Yāna–Saṃdhi—das neunundvierzigste Kapitel, das die Worte und den Rat von Bhishma und Drona behandelt. (Dies ist das Kolophon, das den Abschluss des Kapitels vermerkt.)
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it frames the ethical weight of the preceding discourse by identifying it as Bhīṣma and Droṇa’s counsel within the diplomacy-and-war-preparation context of the Udyoga Parva, emphasizing that guidance (vākya) and deliberation are integral to dharma before conflict.
The chapter concludes. The text signals that the forty-ninth chapter of the Yāna–Saṃdhi section within the Udyoga Parva—centered on Bhīṣma and Droṇa’s words—has ended.
