भीष्मस्य शरवर्षः — Bhīṣma’s Arrow-Storm and Kṛṣṇa’s Impulse to Intervene
इति श्रीमहा भारते भीष्मपर्वणि भीष्मवधपर्वणि परस्परव्यूहरचनायामुत्पातदर्शने एकोनशततमो<ध्याय:

かくして、尊崇される『マハーバーラタ』の「ビーシュマ・パルヴァ」—とりわけビーシュマの討死に関わる段—において、双方の陣形の組み立てと凶兆の出現を描く第百一章は終わる。結語(コロフォン)は、これを道義的緊張に満ちた転機として枠づける。すなわち、人の戦略と陣立て(ヴューーハ)は、天の徴(ウトパータ)の影の下に進み、戦の重い倫理的代価を予告するのである。

Even in a war driven by human choices and tactical planning (vyūha), the epic frames events within a moral-cosmic order: ominous portents (utpāta) signal that adharma and violence carry consequences beyond immediate victory, urging reflection on responsibility, restraint, and the cost of conflict.
This line is a colophon concluding a chapter: it identifies the larger book (Mahābhārata), the parva (Bhīṣma Parva), the sub-section (Bhīṣma’s slaying), and the chapter’s focus—both sides arranging battle formations and witnessing ominous signs—thereby marking a transition toward the climactic events around Bhīṣma.
