Pāṇḍu’s Funeral Rites and Public Mourning

Devanagari script

इति श्रीमहा भारते आदिपर्वणि सम्भवपर्वणि पाण्डुमृगशापे सप्तदशाधिकशततमोड<ध्याय:

Transliteration

iti śrīmahābhārate ādiparvaṇi sambhavaparvaṇi pāṇḍumṛgaśāpe saptadaśādhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ

Translation

Thus, in the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the Ādi Parva and specifically the Sambhava Parva, ends the one-hundred-and-seventeenth chapter, concerning the curse upon Pāṇḍu for killing the deer. The colophon signals a moral turning point: an impulsive act of violence, committed without discernment, brings inevitable consequence and reshapes the destiny of a royal lineage.
