भीमस्य जलान्वेषणं तथा वनविश्रान्तिः
Bhīma’s Search for Water and the Forest Halt
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत आदिपववके अन्तर्गत यम्भवपर्वमें अस्त्र- कौशलदर्शनविषयक एक सौ छत्तीसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraḥ śrīmahābhārate ādiparvaṇi antaragate sambhavaparvaṇi astrakauśaladarśanaviṣayaka ekaśataṣaṭtriṃśattamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
かくして『シュリー・マハーバーラタ』アーディ・パルヴァ中のサンバヴァ篇における、「武器の技の披露」を扱う第百三十六章は終わる。この結語のコロフォンは、武芸の鍛錬と武威を際立たせる一つの物語単位の完結を告げる—それらの力は、叙事詩の倫理の枠内では、ただの権勢ではなく、つねにダルマによって統御されねばならないのである。

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the line does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the preceding material as a unit about weapon-skill. In the Mahābhārata’s ethical horizon, such prowess is significant only when restrained and directed by dharma—otherwise it becomes a cause of ruin.
The narrator marks the completion of a chapter in the Sambhava Parva (within the Ādi Parva) whose subject is the demonstration of proficiency in weapons, indicating a transition point in the text’s organization.
