Sañjaya said: Thus, in the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the Droṇa Parva—under the section narrating the slaying of Jayadratha—this concludes the one hundred and thirty-third chapter, describing the battle between Karṇa and Bhīma. The colophon marks the close of the episode, situating the violent clash within the larger moral frame of the war, where personal rivalries and vows unfold under the pressure of dharma and destiny.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the episode ethically by locating a fierce duel (Karṇa–Bhīma) inside the larger Jayadratha-vadha narrative, reminding the reader that individual combats in the Mahābhārata are inseparable from vows, consequences, and the contested pursuit of dharma in war.
Sañjaya signals the end of Adhyāya 133 in the Droṇa Parva, specifically within the Jayadratha-vadha section, and identifies the chapter’s subject as the battle between Karṇa and Bhīma.
