भीमकर्णसमागमः | Bhīma–Karṇa Encounter
इति श्रीमहाभारते द्रोणपर्वणि जयद्रथवधपर्वणि दुर्योधनवचने दयथधिकशततमो<्थध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvaṇi jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi duryodhanavacane dvyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Thus, in the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the Droṇa Parva—specifically in the section concerning the slaying of Jayadratha—ends the one-hundred-and-second chapter, centered on the words of Duryodhana. This colophon frames the narrative as part of the escalating ethical collapse of war, where speech and counsel become instruments that intensify violence and harden resolve rather than restore dharma.
