Transliteration

iti prakāraḥ śrīmahābhārate ādiparvaṇi antaragate sambhavaparvaṇi astrakauśaladarśanaviṣayaka ekaśataṣaṭtriṃśattamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ

Translation

Thus ends the one hundred and thirty-sixth chapter of the Sambhava section within the Ādi Parva of the Śrī Mahābhārata, dealing with the display of skill in weapons. This closing colophon signals the completion of a narrative unit that highlights martial training and prowess—capacities that, in the epic’s ethical frame, must ultimately be governed by dharma rather than mere power.
