इस प्रकार श्रीमह्ाभारत कर्णपर्वमें अर्जुनका प्रतिज्ञाविषयक एक सौ इकद्वत्तरवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraḥ śrīmahābhārate karṇaparvaṇi arjunasya pratijñā-viṣayaka ekaśata-ikāsaptatitamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
Concluye Sañjaya: Así termina, en el Karṇa Parva del venerable Mahābhārata, el capítulo ciento setenta y uno, centrado en el voto de Arjuna—cerrando una unidad narrativa en la que la determinación personal se presenta como un compromiso moral bajo la presión de la guerra.

The closing colophon highlights the ethical weight of a pratijñā (vow): in epic warfare, a hero’s promise is treated not merely as strategy but as a binding moral commitment that shapes action and accountability.
This line is a formal end-of-chapter colophon: Sanjaya signals that the chapter in Karna Parva dealing with Arjuna’s vow has concluded.
