उपायधर्म-सेनायोगः
Upāya-dharma and Senāyoga: Expedient Ethics & Army Deployment
इति श्रीमहाभारते शान्तिपर्वणि राजधर्मानुशासनपर्वणि सेनानीतिकथने शततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi rājadharmānuśāsanaparvaṇi senānītikathane śatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Ainsi, dans le Śrī Mahābhārata, au sein du Śānti Parva—plus précisément dans la section d’instruction sur les devoirs des rois—s’achève le centième chapitre, dans le discours sur les principes du commandement et de la conduite militaire. Il s’agit d’un colophon marquant la clôture d’une unité d’enseignement, et non d’un nouvel énoncé doctrinal.
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon: it signals the completion of a chapter within Bhīṣma’s instruction on rājadharma, specifically the discussion on senānīti—principles of army leadership and conduct—framing the ethical domain as part of righteous governance.
The text is closing a chapter in the Śānti Parva. Bhīṣma’s discourse to Yudhiṣṭhira continues across chapters; here the scribe/editor marks that the discourse on military leadership has concluded for this chapter.
