かくして、尊崇される『マハーバーラタ』のアーディ・パルヴァ、ことにサンバヴァ・パルヴァにおいて、「ドルパダの命令」と題する章、すなわち第137章が終わる。この結語(コロフォン)は一つの物語単位の終結を告げ、王命とその帰結という倫理的・政治的領域の中にこの挿話を位置づける。
वैशग्पायन उवाच
This line is a colophon rather than a didactic verse: it teaches how the epic self-organizes its narrative into parvas and adhyāyas, and it highlights the importance of śāsana (royal command) as a thematic frame—suggesting that political directives and their moral weight shape subsequent events.
The text is marking the close of a chapter within the Sambhava Parva, titled “Drupada’s Command.” It functions as an editorial/narrative boundary, indicating that the preceding episode has concluded and the next chapter will begin a new segment.
