द्रोणपर्व — अध्याय १६२: प्रातःसंध्यायां युद्धप्रवृत्तिः तथा रजोमेघे संमूढता
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्माभारत द्रोणपर्वके अन्तर्गत घटोत्कचवधपर्वमें रात्रियुद्धके प्रसंगमें दुर्योधनका वचनविषयक एक सौ उनसठवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ

かくして『聖マハーバーラタ』ドローナ・パルヴァのうち、ガトートカチャ討伐章に属し、夜戦の次第においてドゥルヨーダナの言葉を主題とする第百五十九章は終わる。章末の結語（コロフォン）はこの叙述単位の閉幕を告げ、ドゥルヨーダナの演説を、ガトートカチャの死へと至る道義的に苛烈な夜の戦いの枠内に置き、戦術の激化と闇に紛れて戦うことの倫理的緊張を際立たせる。

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the passage does not teach through direct instruction but signals the moral atmosphere of the episode: the night-battle and Ghaṭotkaca’s death represent a turning point where wartime necessity and ethical restraint come into tension, and Duryodhana’s words are framed within that escalation.
The text is a concluding notice stating that the chapter has ended. It situates the chapter within Droṇa Parva, specifically inside the Ghaṭotkaca-slaying section, during the night-battle episode, and identifies the chapter’s focus as Duryodhana’s speech.
