Udyoga Parva Adhyāya 58 — Saṃjaya’s Audience and Kṛṣṇa’s Deterrent Counsel (संजय-प्रवेशः कृष्णवाक्यं च)
इति श्रीमहा भारते उद्योगपर्वणि यानसंधिपर्वणि संजयेन श्रीकृष्णवाक्यकथने एकोनषष्टितमो5 ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi yānasaṃdhiparvaṇi saṃjayena śrīkṛṣṇavākyakathane ekonaṣaṣṭitamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
Así, en el Mahābhārata, dentro del Udyoga Parva y en particular en la sección Yāna–Saṃdhi, llega a su fin el capítulo en que Sañjaya relata el mensaje y las palabras de Śrī Kṛṣṇa: queda concluido el capítulo quincuagésimo noveno.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse itself does not teach a new doctrine; it frames the ethical thrust of the preceding narration: Kṛṣṇa’s message is presented as a dharma-grounded attempt at reconciliation and right conduct before war, emphasizing that peace-making and truthful counsel are integral to righteous statecraft.
The text is closing a chapter: Saṃjaya has finished recounting Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s words/message within the Udyoga Parva’s negotiation-focused section. The colophon marks completion and prepares the reader for the next development in the diplomatic and political sequence leading toward the Kurukṣetra conflict.
