Sātyaki-praveśaḥ and Duryodhana-saṃnipātaḥ
Sātyaki’s passage and Duryodhana’s mass engagement
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत द्रोणपर्वके अन्तर्गत जयद्रथवधपर्वमें द्रोणाचार्य और धृष्ट्युम्नका युद्धविषयक सत्तानबेवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
Iti prakāraṁ Śrīmahābhārate Droṇaparvake antargataṁ Jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi Droṇācārya-Dhṛṣṭadyumnayoḥ yuddhaviṣayakaḥ saptānavatitamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ.
サンジャヤは言った。「かくして、尊き『シュリー・マハーバーラタ』の『ドローナ・パルヴァ』、ジャヤドラタ討伐の章段に属し、ドローナ阿闍梨とドリシュタデュムナの戦いを述べる第九十七章は終わる。章末の詞はこの戦の一幕を正式に閉じ、戦争の容赦なき推進力と、主要な戦士たちが負う重い道義の責めを際立たせる。」

Educational Q&A
As a colophon-like closing, the verse chiefly teaches attentiveness to narrative structure and moral gravity: the war’s episodes are formally concluded, reminding the listener that each martial encounter carries ethical consequence and advances an inexorable chain of duty, choice, and retribution.
Sanjaya signals the completion of the ninety-seventh chapter in the Drona Parva, within the Jayadratha-slaying section, specifically the portion describing the battle between Droṇācārya and Dhṛṣṭadyumna.
