इति श्रीमहाभारते द्रोणपर्वणि जयद्रथवधपर्वणि ध्वजवर्णने पजञ्चाधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvaṇi jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi dhvajavarṇane pañcādhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Así, en el Śrī Mahābhārata, dentro del Droṇa Parva—en particular, en la sección relativa a la muerte de Jayadratha—termina el capítulo ciento cinco, dedicado a la descripción de los estandartes. Este colofón de cierre enmarca el relato como parte del gran registro moral e histórico de la guerra, y señala un punto de transición en el despliegue del deber, la determinación y las consecuencias de los votos marciales.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction but through framing: it situates the events within an ethical epic record, reminding the reader that war narratives are preserved with attention to meaning, consequence, and the larger arc of dharma.
This is the chapter-ending marker stating that the one-hundred-and-fifth chapter—focused on describing battle banners—concludes within the Droṇa Parva, in the sub-section dealing with Jayadratha’s slaying.
