Shloka 101
भीमकर्णसमागमः | Bhīma–Karṇa Encounter
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्ाभारत द्रोणपर्वके अन्तर्गत जयद्रथवधपर्वमें दुर्योधनका आगमनविषयक एक सौ एकवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṁ śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvake antargataṁ jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi duryodhanasyāgamanaviṣayakam ekaśata-ekatamaḥ adhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
Sañjaya dit : Ainsi s’achève le cent-unième chapitre, dans la section du meurtre de Jayadratha, au sein du Droṇa Parva du Śrī Mahābhārata, décrivant l’arrivée de Duryodhana. Ce colophon de clôture marque un tournant du récit guerrier : commandement, ardeur et responsabilité s’y rejoignent, et l’apparition de Duryodhana annonce une pression stratégique renouvelée, sous le poids éthique de la vengeance et du devoir (dharma) sur le champ de bataille.

As a colophon, the verse does not teach a doctrine directly; it highlights how epic narrative frames war through accountability and leadership. Duryodhana’s arrival functions as a reminder that decisions in conflict carry ethical consequences, shaping both strategy and the moral burden borne by rulers and warriors.
This is the formal closing line of the chapter: it states that the 101st chapter within the Jayadratha-slaying section of the Droṇa Parva has concluded, and that its topic was Duryodhana’s arrival.
