भीमस्य जलान्वेषणं तथा वनविश्रान्तिः
Bhīma’s Search for Water and the Forest Halt
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत आदिपववके अन्तर्गत यम्भवपर्वमें अस्त्र- कौशलदर्शनविषयक एक सौ छत्तीसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraḥ śrīmahābhārate ādiparvaṇi antaragate sambhavaparvaṇi astrakauśaladarśanaviṣayaka ekaśataṣaṭtriṃśattamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
Así concluye el capítulo ciento treinta y seis de la sección Sambhava dentro del Ādi Parva del Śrī Mahābhārata, relativo a la exhibición de destreza en las armas. Este colofón final señala el cierre de una unidad narrativa que exalta el adiestramiento y la pericia marcial—capacidades que, en el marco ético del poema, deben regirse en última instancia por el dharma y no por el poder desnudo.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the line does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the preceding material as a unit about weapon-skill. In the Mahābhārata’s ethical horizon, such prowess is significant only when restrained and directed by dharma—otherwise it becomes a cause of ruin.
The narrator marks the completion of a chapter in the Sambhava Parva (within the Ādi Parva) whose subject is the demonstration of proficiency in weapons, indicating a transition point in the text’s organization.
