かくして、尊き『シュリー・マハーバーラタ』の「ドローナ・パルヴァ」中、「アビマンニュ・ヴァダ（アビマンニュ殺害）」の段に属し、「十六王」の逸話を扱う第七十章は終わる。この奥書は当該叙事単位の閉幕を告げ、戦記の流れにおける転換点—アビマンニュの死の余波と周辺の記述が本章で正式に収束すること—を示す。

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse primarily teaches how the Mahābhārata frames its war narrative with careful textual boundaries: episodes are closed formally, reminding the reader that events—especially acts of killing in war—are not isolated, but part of a structured moral and historical account whose consequences continue beyond a single scene.
This line is a chapter-ending notice stating that the seventieth chapter has concluded in the Droṇa Parva, within the Abhimanyu-vadha section, and that the chapter’s subject was an upākhyāna (subsidiary episode) connected with sixteen kings.
