Sātyaki-praveśaḥ and Duryodhana-saṃnipātaḥ
Sātyaki’s passage and Duryodhana’s mass engagement
इति श्रीमहा भारते द्रोणपर्वणि जयद्रथवधपर्वणि द्रोणसात्यकियुद्धे अष्टनवतितमो< ध्याय:,इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत द्रोणपर्वके अन्तर्गत जयद्रथवधपर्वमें द्रोण और सात्यकिका युद्धविषयक जअद्ठानबेवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvaṇi jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi droṇasātyakiyuddhe aṣṭanavatitamo 'dhyāyaḥ | iti prakāraṃ śrīmahābhārata droṇaparvake antargata jayadrathavadhaparvameṃ droṇa aura sātyakikā yuddhaviṣayaka aṭhānavāṃ adhyāya pūrā huā |
サンジャヤは言った。「かくして、尊き『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おいて、ドローナとサーティヤキの戦いを述べる第九十八章は終わる。すなわち、『ドローナ・パルヴァ』のジャヤドラタ・ヴァダ篇に属し、ドローナとサーティヤキの交戦を扱う第九十八章はここに結ばれた。章末の詞は、戦の物語を秩序立った法（ダルマ）の歴史として枠づけ、クルクシェートラの大いなる法難のただ中で、一つの凄惨な激突が閉じられたことを告げる。」

Educational Q&A
This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it teaches how the Mahābhārata frames warfare within an ordered textual and moral architecture—each violent episode is situated inside larger arcs of responsibility (dharma), consequence, and historical memory.
The chapter concludes. The text signals that, within the Droṇa Parva and specifically the Jayadratha-vadha episode, the account of the combat between Droṇa and Sātyaki has reached its end (chapter 98).
