Sañjaya said: “Thus, in the great Mahābhārata, in the Karṇa Parva, the sixty-fifth chapter—concerning the arrival of Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna before Yudhiṣṭhira—comes to an end.” This closing colophon marks the episode as a crucial moment of counsel and resolve amid the war’s moral strain, as the leaders reunite to steady their purpose and their responsibility to dharma in the face of suffering and duty.

As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the episode’s ethical weight: in war, leaders must repeatedly return to dharma—through counsel, accountability, and renewed resolve—rather than acting from despair or impulse.
The narrator marks the completion of the chapter whose subject is the arrival of Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna to Yudhiṣṭhira, signaling a transition point where reunion and consultation guide the next actions in the Karṇa Parva.
