iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi sañjayayānaparvaṇi sañjayavākye caturviṃśo 'dhyāyaḥ || 24 ||
Sañjaya dit : «Ainsi, dans le vénérable Mahābhārata, au sein de l’Udyoga Parva, dans la section appelée Sañjaya-yāna (la mission de Sañjaya), s’achève le vingt-quatrième chapitre, contenant le discours de Sañjaya.»
सयजय उवाच
This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement; its implicit lesson is the importance of orderly transmission of discourse—placing counsel and diplomatic speech within the epic’s moral architecture before the descent into war.
The text formally concludes a chapter in the Udyoga Parvan, specifically within the Sañjaya-yāna section, indicating that Sañjaya’s spoken portion for this chapter has ended.
