Sanjaya said: Thus, in the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the Droṇa Parva, in the sub-section concerning the slaying of Ghaṭotkaca, on the occasion of the night-battle, the one-hundred-and-sixtieth chapter—describing Aśvatthāman’s prowess—comes to an end. The colophon marks the close of this unit of narration, framing the night’s violence and Aśvatthāman’s martial energy as a distinct episode within the larger ethical tragedy of the war.
