Virāṭa-parva, Adhyāya 67
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत विराटपर्वके अन्तर्गत गोहदरणपर्वमें समस्त कौरवोंके पलायनसे सम्बन्ध रखनेवाला छाछठवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
Iti prakāraṁ Śrīmahābhārate Virāṭaparvaṇi antar-gate Goharaṇaparvaṇi samasta-Kauravāṇāṁ palāyanena sambandha-rakhanevālā ṣaṭ-ṣaṣṭitamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ abhavat.
Así, en el Śrī Mahābhārata, dentro del Virāṭa Parva—en particular, en el episodio del Go-haraṇa, relativo al asalto y robo del ganado—concluye el capítulo sexagésimo sexto, centrado en la huida y desbandada de todos los Kaurava. El cierre subraya que la arrogancia y la agresión injusta se derrumban cuando se enfrentan a la fuerza legítima y a la resolución inquebrantable.

Educational Q&A
The chapter-colophon highlights a moral arc: unjust aggression (here, the cattle-raid) culminates in humiliation and retreat. It implies that adharma-driven pride is unstable, while disciplined resolve aligned with dharma can overturn apparent power.
This is a concluding colophon stating that the sixty-sixth chapter of the Virāṭa Parva’s cattle-raid episode has ended, and its main subject was the flight of the Kauravas.
