Bhīṣma’s Counsel on Reconciliation and Partition (भीष्मोपदेशः—संधि-राज्यविभागविचारः)
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत आदिपरव॑के अन्तर्गत वैवाहिकपर्वमें वेदव्यायके आगमनसे सम्बन्ध रखनेवाला एक सौ चौरानबेवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraḥ śrīmahābhārata ādiparva-ke antargata vaivāhikaparva-meṃ vedavyāsa-ke āgamana-se sambandha rakhanevālā ekaśata caturānnavetām adhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ huā
Así concluye el capítulo ciento noventa y cuatro del Ādi Parva del Śrī Mahābhārata, dentro del Vaivāhika Parva, relativo al episodio vinculado con la llegada de Vedavyāsa. Esta narración señala el cierre formal de esta sección, anunciando una transición en el despliegue de los acontecimientos y la continuidad de la historia sagrada.

Educational Q&A
This line functions as a colophon: it emphasizes orderly transmission of sacred narrative—chapters are formally closed to preserve textual integrity and to mark transitions, underscoring the authority of the tradition associated with Vyāsa.
The narrator signals that the chapter connected with Vedavyāsa’s arrival, situated within the Vaivāhika Parva of the Ādi Parva, has ended; it is a structural marker rather than a new plot event.
