स वध्यमानो वज्रेण तस्मिन्नमिततेजसा,इस प्रकार श्रीमह्ाभारत आश्वमेधिकपर्वके अन्तर्गत अश्वमेधपर्वमें श्रीकृष्ण और धर्मराज युधिष्ठिरका संवादविषयक ग्यारहवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ

उस अमित तेजस्वी के वज्र से आहत होकर वह मारा जा रहा था। इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत के आश्वमेधिकपर्व के अन्तर्गत अश्वमेधपर्व में श्रीकृष्ण और धर्मराज युधिष्ठिर के संवादविषयक ग्यारहवाँ अध्याय समाप्त हुआ।

The verse as presented functions mainly as a narrative/concluding marker: it underscores irresistible divine power (amita-tejas, vajra) and frames the chapter as part of Kṛṣṇa’s instructive dialogue with Yudhiṣṭhira in the post-war, dharma-centered context of the Aśvamedha.
A figure is described as being slain by a thunderbolt wielded by a being of immeasurable splendor; immediately after, the colophon states that the eleventh chapter—focused on the Kṛṣṇa–Yudhiṣṭhira dialogue within the Aśvamedha section of the Āśvamedhika Parva—has concluded.
