Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 109 — Karṇa–Bhīma Yuddha and Durmukha’s Fall (कर्णभीमयुद्धम्; दुर्मुखवधः)
इति श्रीमहाभारते द्रोणपर्वणि जयद्रथवधपर्वणि संकुलयुद्धे सप्ताधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvaṇi jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi saṅkulayuddhe saptādhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
इति श्रीमहाभारत के द्रोणपर्व में जयद्रथवधपर्व के अन्तर्गत संकुल युद्ध-वर्णन वाला एक सौ सातवाँ अध्याय।
संजय उवाच
This is a colophon marking the chapter’s close, reminding the reader that the war narrative is preserved as a sacred moral history: chaotic combat (saṅkula-yuddha) is not mere spectacle but a field where dharma, vows, and consequences are tested and recorded.
The verse does not advance the plot directly; it formally concludes the chapter within Droṇa Parva, situating it in the Jayadratha-slaying section and characterizing the events as a tangled, confused battle.
