Translation

Sanjaya said: Thus, in the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the Droṇa Parva—specifically in the section concerning the slaying of Jayadratha—ends the one-hundred-and-third chapter, themed around Duryodhana’s defeat. This colophon marks a narrative turning point: the moral and strategic consequences of pride and adharma culminate in a setback for Duryodhana amid the escalating violence of war.
