अमोघशक्तिव्यंसनप्रश्नः — Why Karṇa’s Śakti Was Not Used on Arjuna
इति श्रीमहा भारते द्रोणपर्वणि घटोत्कचवधपर्वणि रात्रियुद्धे भीमपराक्रमे पडञ्चपञ्चाशदधिकशततमोड< ध्याय:,इस प्रकार श्रीमह्ााभारत द्रोणपर्वके अन्तर्गत घटोत्कचवधपर्वमें रात्रियुद्धके प्रसंगमें भीमसोेनका पराक्रमविषयक एक सौ पचपनवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ

Sañjaya dit : Ainsi, dans le vénérable Mahābhārata, au sein du Droṇa Parva, dans la section relative à la mise à mort de Ghaṭotkaca, dans l’épisode du combat nocturne, s’achève le cent cinquante-cinquième chapitre—qui décrit la prouesse de Bhīma.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through a direct maxim; it signals a thematic emphasis: in the night-battle, when clarity and restraint are hardest to maintain, Bhīma’s prowess is foregrounded, inviting reflection on how dharma is tested when war descends into darkness and desperation.
Sañjaya marks the completion of the chapter within Droṇa Parva, specifically in the Ghaṭotkaca-slaying section, during the night-fighting episode, noting that this chapter focused on Bhīma’s martial exploits.
