अर्जुनस्य गुरुधर्मविलापः तथा शैनेयकर्णयोर्युद्धारम्भः | Arjuna’s Lament on Guru-Dharma and the Opening of the Sātyaki–Karṇa Duel
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्ााभारत द्रोणपर्वके अन्तर्गत जयद्रथवधपर्वमें सात्यकिके कौरव-सेनामें प्रवेशके प्रसंगमें यवनोंकी पराजयविषयक एक सौ उन्नीसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraśrīmahābhārata-droṇaparvake antargata-jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi sātyakike kaurava-senāyāṁ praveśa-prasaṅge yavanānāṁ parājaya-viṣayaka ekaśata-unna-viṁśat-tamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
Sanjaya concludes: Thus ends the one hundred and nineteenth chapter of the Jayadratha-slaying section within the Droṇa Parva of the Śrī Mahābhārata, in the episode describing Sātyaki’s entry into the Kaurava army and the defeat of the Yavanas. The closing underscores how, amid the moral chaos of war, individual valor and strategic resolve can overturn even formidable resistance.

Educational Q&A
As a chapter-colophon, it does not teach by direct instruction; it frames the episode’s moral atmosphere: in war, outcomes hinge on resolve, skill, and strategy, yet the narrative invites reflection on how such prowess is exercised within (or against) dharma amid escalating violence.
This is the closing statement for the chapter: it marks the completion of the adhyāya describing Sātyaki’s forceful entry into the Kaurava battle-array and the consequent defeat of the Yavana contingent, within the broader Jayadratha-slaying sequence of the Droṇa Parva.
