Sañjaya said: Thus ends the one hundred and thirty-fifth chapter of the Śrī Mahābhārata’s Droṇa Parva, within the Jayadratha-vadha section, describing Bhīmasena’s valor. This closing formula marks the narrative’s onward course in the war-book, holding heroic effort forth as a moral force in the struggle for a just cause.
