Indrajit’s Binding, Restoration by Viśalyā, and Counsel Restraining Rāvaṇa (Āraṇyaka Parva 273)
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्या भारत वनपववके अन्तर्गत द्रौपदीहरणपर्वमें जयद्रथपलायनविषयक दो सौ इकह्तत्तरवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
Iti prakāraṃ śrīmahābhārate vanaparvaṇi antar-gate draupadīharaṇaparvaṇi jayadrathapalāyanaviṣayakaḥ dviśataika-saptatitamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ.
Así concluye el capítulo ducentésimo septuagésimo primero del Vana Parva del Mahābhārata, dentro de la sección Draupadī-haraṇa, relativo a la huida de Jayadratha. Este colofón señala el cierre del episodio y subraya que el deseo ilícito y la transgresión del dharma conducen al temor, la derrota y la deshonra, mientras que la protección firme de los agraviados se vuelve un imperativo moral.

The colophon signals the moral arc of the episode: adharma—here, the violation of a protected woman’s dignity—culminates in defeat and fearful retreat, while righteous resistance and protection of the wronged are affirmed as dharmic duties.
This is the closing notice of the chapter that treats Jayadratha’s flight in the Draupadī-abduction episode within the Vana Parva; it formally concludes that chapter in the Gītā Press-style framing.
