Translation

Thus, in the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the Udyoga Parva—specifically the Yāna–Sandhi Parva on the mission and negotiations—the sixty-first chapter, concerning Duryodhana’s speech, comes to an end. This colophon marks the close of a discourse that frames the ethical tension between conciliation and obstinacy on the eve of war.
