iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi bhagavadyānaparvaṇi nakulavākye aśītitamo 'dhyāyaḥ || 80 ||
Thus, in the Mahābhārata, within the Udyoga Parva and specifically the Bhagavad-yāna section, the eightieth chapter—centered on Nakula’s words—comes to an end. This is a formal colophon marking the close of the chapter, underscoring the text’s careful structuring and transmission.
नकुल उवाच
Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon, not a doctrinal teaching: it signals the completion of a chapter and situates it within the Mahābhārata’s larger structure (Parva and sub-section), reflecting the tradition’s emphasis on orderly preservation and clear textual boundaries.
No new event occurs here. The text is formally closing Adhyāya 80 (as labeled in this colophon) of the Bhagavad-yāna section within Udyoga Parva, identifying the chapter as focused on Nakula’s words.
