iti śrīmahābhārate ādiparvaṇi bakavadhaparvaṇi kuntī-yudhiṣṭhira-saṃvāde ekaṣaṣṭyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
Así concluye el capítulo ciento sesenta y uno del Ādi Parva del Śrī Mahābhārata, dentro de la sección sobre la muerte de Baka, en el diálogo entre Kuntī y Yudhiṣṭhira. El cierre enmarca su intercambio como una deliberación moral: cómo obrar rectamente bajo el peligro, equilibrando la compasión por los demás con la responsabilidad hacia la propia familia y las exigencias del dharma.
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
The colophon signals that the preceding exchange is to be read as a dharma-discussion: right action is not merely personal safety, but includes protecting others, weighing consequences, and accepting duty even under threat.
This is the closing colophon of the chapter, stating that the Ādi Parva’s Bakavadha section has presented a dialogue between Kuntī and Yudhiṣṭhira, and that the one-hundred-and-sixty-first chapter has concluded.
