Droṇa-parva 112: Karṇa–Bhīma Engagement and Duryodhana’s Protective Order
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्ाभारत द्रोणपर्वके अन्तर्गत जयद्रथवधपर्वमें अलग्बुषवधविषयक एक सौ नवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraḥ śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvake antargataṃ jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi alambuṣavadhaviṣayaka ekaśata navamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
Sañjaya dit : «Ainsi s’achève le cent neuvième chapitre de l’épisode du meurtre d’Alambusha, au sein de la section consacrée à la mise à mort de Jayadratha, dans le Droṇa Parva du Mahābhārata sacré. Ce colophon final marque l’achèvement d’une unité de récit dans la chronique de la guerre, soulignant l’ordonnance de la transmission des événements et la gravité morale du champ de bataille.»

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse primarily teaches textual discipline and responsible transmission: the war narrative is presented in clearly bounded units, reminding the listener that acts of violence and their outcomes are to be remembered with moral seriousness, not as mere spectacle.
This is an end-of-chapter marker spoken by Sanjaya, indicating that the chapter dealing with the slaying of Alambusha—within the broader Jayadratha-slaying section of the Drona Parva—has concluded.
