Shloka 117
इति श्रीमहा भारते द्रोणपर्वणि जयद्रथवधपर्वणि सात्यकिप्रवेशे सात्यकिपराक्रमे सप्तदशाधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvaṇi jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi sātyakipraveśe sātyakiparākrame saptadaśādhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
かくして、尊き『マハーバーラタ』のドローナ・パルヴァ、ことにジャヤドラタ討伐の章段において、サーティヤキの入陣とその武勲を語る第百十七章はここに終わる。奥書はこの一段を、戦の代価が増しゆく中で、固き決意と武芸の精華が誓願の成就へと動員される、道義の緊張を帯びた転機として位置づける。

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the episode ethically by highlighting purposeful valor (parākrama) and decisive entry (praveśa) undertaken in pursuit of a vowed aim within the constraints and tragedies of dharma in war.
This is the chapter-ending colophon: it marks the close of the 117th chapter in Droṇa Parva’s Jayadratha-slaying section, identifying the chapter’s focus as Sātyaki’s penetration into the opposing formation and his heroic feats.
