भूरिश्रवसः गर्हा, प्रायोपवेशः, सात्यकिकृतशिरच्छेदः
Bhūriśravas’s Censure, Prāyopaveśa, and Sātyaki’s Beheading
इति श्रीमहाभारते द्रोणपर्वणि जयद्रथवधपर्वणि सात्यकिकप्रवेशे दुर्योधनकृतवर्मपराजये षोडशाधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvaṇi jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi sātyakikapraveśe duryodhanakṛtavarmaparājaye ṣoḍaśādhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Thus, in the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the Droṇa Parva—specifically in the section concerning the slaying of Jayadratha—this concludes the one-hundred-and-sixteenth chapter, describing Sātyaki’s entry into the fray and the defeat of Duryodhana and Kṛtavarman. The colophon signals a moral turning-point in the war narrative: valor and resolve break through opposing formations, while prideful resistance meets reversal amid the escalating consequences of adharma on the battlefield.
