Sanjaya said: “Thus, in the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the Bhīṣma Parva, in the section concerning the slaying of Bhīṣma, in the episode of the battle involving the Haiḍimba (Ghaṭotkaca), the ninety-second chapter is concluded.” This closing formula frames the war narrative as a morally weighty record: the violence of the battlefield is presented within an ordered textual structure, reminding the listener that even chaotic conflict is being witnessed, remembered, and judged through the lens of dharma and consequence.
