द्रोणेन केकय-चेदि-वीरवधः
Droṇa’s engagements with the Kekayas and Cedis
इति श्रीमहाभारते द्रोणपर्वणि जयद्रथवधपर्वणि विन्दानुविन्दवधे अर्जुनसरोनिर्माणे च एकोनशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvaṇi jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi vindānuvindavadhe arjunasaronirmāṇe ca ekonaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Ainsi, dans le Śrī Mahābhārata, au sein du Droṇa Parva—dans la section consacrée à la mise à mort de Jayadratha—s’achève le cent unième chapitre, qui comprend aussi la mort de Vinda et d’Anuvinda et la création du lac de flèches par Arjuna.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the ethical gravity of the war by naming decisive acts—retaliation, strategic prowess, and the relentless consequences of vows and enmity—reminding the reader that major outcomes in the epic arise from choices bound to dharma, duty, and prior actions.
This is the formal closing line of the chapter: it situates the chapter within Droṇa Parva and the Jayadratha-slaying section, and it summarizes key events covered—Vinda and Anuvinda being slain and Arjuna producing a ‘lake’ through his arrows—before marking the chapter’s end.
