Translation

Sañjaya said: “Here ends the Droṇa Parva.” This is a colophon-style notice indicating the completion of the Droṇa Parva in the Gita Press/North Indian recension, with a metrical/editorial remark about counting longer metres as equivalent to the 32-syllable anuṣṭubh for the purpose of enumeration.

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This passage is not a moral instruction but a colophon: it marks the formal completion of the Droṇa Parva and preserves editorial/prosodic information about how verses in larger metres are counted as anuṣṭubh-equivalents for numbering.

What is happening in the narrative?

The narrator Sañjaya signals the close of the Droṇa Parva. In the Gita Press presentation, this closing line also notes metrical counting conventions and the verse-numbering basis in the North Indian text tradition.
