भीष्मद्रोणयोर्दुर्योधनं प्रति शान्त्युपदेशः | Bhīṣma and Droṇa’s Counsel to Duryodhana for Pacification
इति श्रीमहाभारते उद्योगपर्वणि भगवद्यानपर्वणि भीष्मादिवाक्ये पजञ्चविंशत्यधिकशततमो< ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi bhagavadyānaparvaṇi bhīṣmādivākye pañcaviṃśatyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Thus ends the one-hundred-and-twenty-fifth chapter of the Udyoga Parva of the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the section known as the Bhagavad-yāna Parva, in the context of the statements made by Bhīṣma and others.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
This verse is not a doctrinal teaching but a colophon: it formally closes the chapter and identifies its placement (Udyoga Parva, Bhagavad-yāna section) and its narrative context (statements associated with Bhīṣma and others).
The narrative action pauses here: the text signals the completion of the chapter and transitions to the next unit, while indicating that the preceding material belonged to the Bhagavad-yāna portion and was connected with Bhīṣma’s (and others’) words.
