Shloka 129
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत आदिपव॑के अन्तर्गत सम्भवपर्वमें द्रोणको परशुरामजीसे अस्त्र- विद्याकी प्राप्तिविषयक एक सौ उन्तीसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṃ śrīmahābhārate ādiparvaṇi antargata-sambhava-parvaṇi droṇasya paraśurāmajīto 'stra-vidyā-prāpti-viṣayaka ekaśata-ūnatiṃśattamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
Thus ends the one-hundred-and-twenty-ninth chapter of the Sambhava section within the Ādi Parva of the sacred Mahābhārata, describing how Droṇa obtained the knowledge of divine weapons from Paraśurāma. The closing note underscores the ethical weight of martial learning: extraordinary power is transmitted through a teacher–disciple bond, and its acquisition carries responsibility that will shape the coming conflicts.

The chapter’s colophon highlights that mastery of weapons is not merely technical skill but a morally charged inheritance passed through the guru–śiṣya relationship; acquiring such power implies accountability for how it will be used in the unfolding dharmic crisis.
This is the concluding notice for the chapter in the Sambhava Parva: it marks the completion of the episode describing Droṇa’s attainment of astra-vidyā from Paraśurāma within the Ādi Parva.
