Ainsi, dans le Śrī Mahābhārata, au sein de l’Udyoga Parva—plus précisément dans la section Yāna–Saṃdhi—s’achève le soixante-dixième chapitre, constitué du récit de Sañjaya. Ce colophon final marque l’achèvement du chapitre et présente l’exposé comme un rapport faisant autorité, soulignant la gravité du conseil, de la diplomatie et des enjeux moraux qui entourent le conflit imminent.

As a colophon, the verse does not add new doctrinal content; its function is to authenticate and frame the preceding discourse as Sañjaya’s report within the Udyoga Parva’s diplomacy-and-preparation context, underscoring that counsel and negotiation are morally weighty steps before war.
The text formally closes the seventieth chapter of the Yāna–Saṃdhi section in the Udyoga Parva, indicating that the preceding material was spoken by Sañjaya and that this unit of narration has concluded.
