Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 96: Sātyaki’s Line-Penetration, Encirclement, and Advance toward Arjuna
इति श्रीमहाभारते द्रोणपर्वणि जयद्रथवधपर्वणि दुर्योधनकवचबन्धने चतुर्नवतितमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvaṇi jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi duryodhanakavacabandhane caturṇavatitamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Thus, in the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the Droṇa Parva—specifically in the section concerning the slaying of Jayadratha—ends the ninety-fourth chapter, describing the binding on of Duryodhana’s armor.
संजय उवाच
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction but frames the narrative ethically: even acts like donning armor are part of accountable wartime agency, where protection, preparedness, and intent shape outcomes within the broader dharma-conflict.
This is the chapter-ending colophon: it marks the close of the 94th chapter within Droṇa Parva, in the Jayadratha-slaying section, noting that the chapter’s theme includes Duryodhana’s armor being fastened/put on.
