Droṇa’s Rebuke to Duryodhana after Jayadratha’s Fall (द्रोणेन दुर्योधनं प्रति प्रत्युक्तिः)
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत द्रोणपर्वके अन्तर्गत जयद्रथवधपर्वमें सात्यकिका प्रवेश और दुःशासनकी पराजयविषयक एक सौ तेईसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṃ śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvake antargataṃ jayadrathavadhaparvameṃ sātyakikā praveśaḥ ca duḥśāsanasya parājayaviṣayakaḥ ekaśata-trayoviṃśat-tamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
Sañjaya said: Thus, in the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the Droṇa Parva—specifically in the section concerning the slaying of Jayadratha—the one hundred and twenty-third chapter comes to an end, dealing with Sātyaki’s entry into the fray and the defeat of Duḥśāsana. The closing formula underscores the epic’s moral frame: valor and strategy unfold within the larger reckoning of dharma amid the devastation of war.
