Ainsi, dans le Mahābhārata, au sein de l’Udyoga Parva et plus précisément dans la section du Bhagavad-yāna (la mission de paix du Seigneur), s’achève le cent quarante-neuvième chapitre, consacré aux paroles de Dhṛtarāṣṭra. Ce colophon marque la clôture d’un ensemble narratif centré sur le conseil et la responsabilité au seuil de la guerre, rappelant que la parole, le discernement et la résolution morale façonnent le destin des royaumes.

As a colophon, the verse primarily signals closure, but it implicitly highlights the ethical weight of royal speech and counsel in the war’s prelude: decisions and words spoken by leaders (here, Dhṛtarāṣṭra) carry consequences for dharma and the realm.
This is the formal end-marker of the chapter within the Bhagavad-yāna section of Udyoga Parva, indicating that the portion dealing with Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s statements has concluded and the text is moving to the next unit.
