इति श्रीमहाभारते सभापर्वणि द्यूतपर्वणि दुर्योधनसंतापे सप्तचत्वारिंशो 5ध्याय: ।। ४७ || इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत सभापरववके अन्तर्गत झ्यूतपर्वमें दुर्योधनसंतापविषयक सैंतालीसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti śrīmahābhārate sabhāparvaṇi dyūtapārvaṇi duryodhanasantāpe saptacatvāriṃśo 'dhyāyaḥ || 47 ||
Así, en el Śrī Mahābhārata, dentro del Sabhā Parva, en la sección del Dyūta, concluye el capítulo cuadragésimo séptimo, relativo a la angustia de Duryodhana. Este colofón final señala que el derrumbe moral del juego de dados culmina no en una satisfacción verdadera, sino en la turbación interior de Duryodhana, presagiando las consecuencias éticas que habrán de desplegarse.

Educational Q&A
Even when wrongdoing appears to ‘succeed’ outwardly, it breeds inner unrest. The colophon’s emphasis on Duryodhana’s santāpa highlights that adharma culminates in psychological and moral disturbance, setting the stage for larger consequences.
This verse is a concluding colophon: it formally closes the forty-seventh chapter of the Sabhā Parva’s dice-game section, identified by the theme ‘Duryodhana’s anguish.’ It signals the end of that chapter’s narrated unit rather than adding new plot action.
