Shloka 150
सेनापति-निर्णयः तथा पाण्डवसेनायाः कुरुक्षेत्रगमनम्
Decision on Command and the Pandavas’ March to Kurukshetra
इति श्रीमहा भारते उद्योगपर्वणि भगवद्यानपर्वणि श्रीकृष्णवाक्ये पजञ्चाशदधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi bhagavadyānaparvaṇi śrīkṛṣṇavākye pañcāśad-adhika-śatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Así, en el venerable Mahābhārata, dentro del Udyoga Parva—en particular, la sección sobre la embajada del Señor—concluye el capítulo ciento cincuenta, centrado en el discurso de Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Esta línea funciona como colofón formal: marca el fin del capítulo y sitúa la enseñanza en la misión diplomática de Kṛṣṇa, donde el consejo ético y la búsqueda de la paz se alzan frente a la inminente inevitabilidad de la guerra.
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
This line itself is not a doctrinal verse but a colophon. Its ‘teaching’ is structural: it frames the preceding content as Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s counsel within his peace-embassy, highlighting that ethical persuasion and dharmic negotiation are central themes before the outbreak of war.
The chapter concludes. The colophon locates the episode in the Udyoga Parva’s Bhagavad-yāna section, where Kṛṣṇa undertakes a diplomatic mission and speaks to guide the parties toward a just settlement, even as conflict approaches.
