かくして『聖マハーバーラタ』の「ドローナ・パルヴァ」において、「ナーラーヤナ武器の放擲」に関する章、すなわち「アシュヴァッターマンの憤怒」第百九十五章は終わる。この奥書は、この出来事を道徳的転回点として位置づける――破滅をもたらす神授の武器が怒りによって呼び起こされ、戦における力の行使を憤怒に委ねることの倫理的危うさを物語が告げている。

The colophon highlights a key ethical warning of the episode: when anger becomes the motive force, even legitimate martial power can turn into destructive excess. The framing around the Nārāyaṇa weapon underscores that divine or extraordinary force demands restraint and right intention (dharma), not krodha.
This line is a concluding colophon marking the end of a chapter in the Droṇa Parva. It identifies the episode as the discharge of the Nārāyaṇa weapon and names the chapter’s theme as Aśvatthāman’s wrath, indicating that the preceding narrative centered on his anger and the unleashing of a formidable astric weapon.
