Arjuna’s advance; deaths of Śrutāyudha and Sudakṣiṇa

かくして、尊き『マハーバーラタ』のドローナ・パルヴァに属する「アビマンニュ殺害章」第六十七章は終わる。これは十六王に関する小区分に置かれた奥書（コロフォン）であり、章の終結を示すとともに、物語をより大きな倫理的・歴史的枠組みに位置づける——クルクシェートラの戦いにおいて武人の掟が崩れゆくさなか、アビマンニュが悲劇的に討たれたことを。

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse itself does not teach a doctrine directly; it frames the episode’s moral horizon. By marking the Abhimanyu-slaying context within the war narrative, it implicitly highlights the ethical tension of Kurukṣetra—how the pressures of victory can erode dharma and accepted warrior norms.
This line signals the formal end of the chapter in the Droṇa Parva, specifically within the Abhimanyu-vadha (Abhimanyu’s killing) section. It functions as an editorial closure and locator for the reader, rather than advancing plot through dialogue or action.
