Sañjaya said: Thus, in the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the Bhīṣma Parva—specifically in the section concerning the slaying of Bhīṣma—ends the sixty-third chapter, describing the encounter between Sātyaki and Bhūriśravas. This closing colophon marks the completion of the chapter’s account within the larger moral and martial frame of the Kurukṣetra war.

Educational Q&A
This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it frames the preceding events within the epic’s ethical battlefield context, reminding the reader that individual duels (like Sātyaki and Bhūriśravas) are embedded in the larger dharma-crisis of Kurukṣetra and in the narrative architecture of parva and adhyāya.
Sañjaya signals the end of the chapter that recounts the confrontation/meeting between Sātyaki and Bhūriśravas, situating it within Bhīṣma Parva and the Bhīṣma’s downfall section; it is the formal closing line marking completion of that chapter.
