Sañjaya dijo: Así, en el Śrī Mahābhārata, dentro del Droṇa Parva—en particular, en la sección sobre la muerte de Jayadratha—queda concluido el capítulo ciento cuatro, relativo a la batalla enmarañada y caótica. La fórmula de cierre subraya la complejidad implacable de la guerra y enmarca el relato como un registro moral de actos y consecuencias dentro de la lucha mayor por el dharma.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the battle narrative as a documented sequence within a dharmic conflict, emphasizing that war becomes 'saṅkula' (entangled/chaotic) and that events are to be understood in terms of moral causality and consequence.
This is the formal closing statement for the 104th chapter of the Jayadratha-slaying section within the Droṇa Parva, indicating that the chapter focused on the confused, densely interwoven fighting and is now complete.
