Droṇa’s Defensive Stand and Abhimanyu Commissioned to Breach the Cakravyūha (द्रोणानीक-प्रतिरोधः; सौभद्र-नियोजनम्)
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत द्रोणपर्वके अन्तर्गत अभिमन्युवधपर्वमें अभिमन्युवधका संक्षेपसे वर्णनविषयक तैंतीसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṃ śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvake antar-gata abhimanyuvadhaparvaṇi abhimanyuvadhasya saṃkṣepataḥ varṇana-viṣayakaḥ trayastriṃśattamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
サञ्जयは結ぶ――かくして『聖マハーバーラタ』の「ドローナ・パルヴァ」中、とりわけ「アビマンニュ殺害章」において、アビマンニュの死を簡略に叙した第三十三章はここに終わる。この結語は叙事詩の道義的重みを示す。戦場における若き勇士の没落は、義務（ダルマ）、戦いにおける正しさの限界、そして策略的暴力のもたらす悲劇的代償を省察する焦点となるのである。

Educational Q&A
As a chapter-ending colophon, the passage does not teach through direct instruction but frames the episode ethically: Abhimanyu’s death is presented as a pivotal wartime tragedy that invites reflection on dharma in battle—how strategy, collective violence, and the treatment of a lone warrior test the boundaries of righteous conduct.
Sañjaya signals the completion of the thirty-third chapter within the Droṇa Parva’s Abhimanyu-vadha section, stating that the chapter has given a concise narration of Abhimanyu’s slaying and is now concluded.
