Śaineya–Bhūriśravas: Genealogy, Svayaṃvara Contest, and the Maheśvara Boon

इति श्रीमहा भारते द्रोणपर्वणि जयद्रथवधपर्वणि सात्यकिप्रवेशे सात्यकिपराक्रमे सप्तदशाधिकशततमो<ध्याय:

iti śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvaṇi jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi sātyakipraveśe sātyakiparākrame saptadaśādhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ

Ainsi, dans le Mahābhārata vénéré, au sein du Droṇa Parva—plus précisément dans la section consacrée à la mise à mort de Jayadratha—s’achève le cent dix-septième chapitre, décrivant l’entrée de Sātyaki dans le dispositif de bataille et ses actes de vaillance. Le colophon présente l’épisode comme un tournant moralement chargé de la guerre, où la détermination et l’excellence martiale sont mobilisées au service d’un vœu, tandis que le prix du conflit ne cesse de croître.

Educational Q&A

As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the episode ethically by highlighting purposeful valor (parākrama) and decisive entry (praveśa) undertaken in pursuit of a vowed aim within the constraints and tragedies of dharma in war.

This is the chapter-ending colophon: it marks the close of the 117th chapter in Droṇa Parva’s Jayadratha-slaying section, identifying the chapter’s focus as Sātyaki’s penetration into the opposing formation and his heroic feats.
