Dhritarashtra–Sanjaya dialogue and the midday battle escalation
इति श्रीमहाभारते भीष्मपर्वणि भीष्मवधपर्वणि द्वैरथे द्ॉयशीतितमो<5ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate bhīṣmaparvaṇi bhīṣmavadhaparvaṇi dvairathe dvāśītitamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Ainsi s’achève le quatre-vingt-deuxième chapitre, intitulé « La mise à mort de Bhīṣma », au sein du Bhīṣma Parva du Śrī Mahābhārata, dans la section relative au duel de chars. C’est le colophon qui marque la clôture du récit tel que rapporté par Sañjaya.

Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it teaches how the Mahābhārata frames its narrative ethically and historically through careful textual markers—closing a unit of war narration and situating it within the larger parvan structure.
The narration reaches a chapter boundary: Sañjaya’s report concludes the eighty-second chapter within the Bhīṣma Parva, specifically in the episode dealing with Bhīṣma’s fall and the chariot-warrior duel context.
