Entry into the Royal Assembly and Sañjaya’s Envoy Report
इति श्रीमहाभारते उद्योगपर्वणि यानसंधिपर्वणि संजयप्रत्यागमने सप्तचत्वारिंशो5ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi yānasaṃdhiparvaṇi sañjayapratyāgamane saptacatvāriṃśo 'dhyāyaḥ
Ainsi s’achève le quarante-septième chapitre de l’Udyoga Parva du Śrī Mahābhārata, dans la section Yāna-saṃdhi (négociation et diplomatie), relatant le retour de Sañjaya.
संजय उवाच
Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the ethical atmosphere of the Udyoga Parva: decisions made through counsel, negotiation, and truthful reporting shape the fate of kingdoms. It underscores that speech and diplomacy are themselves arenas of dharma, preceding and influencing the resort to war.
The text is marking the close of a chapter describing Sañjaya’s return within the negotiation-focused subsection of the Udyoga Parva. It functions as an editorial boundary, indicating that one episode of diplomatic exchange has concluded and the narrative is moving onward.
