अध्याय ९१ — शैनेयस्य गजानीकभेदनं जलसंधवधश्च
Chapter 91: Sātyaki breaks the elephant array and slays Jalasaṃdha
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्या भारत द्रोणपर्वके अन्तर्गत जयद्रथवधपर्वमें अजुनका रणभूमिमें प्रवेशविषयक अठासीवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
Iti prakāraḥ śrīmahābhārate Droṇaparvaṇi antar-gate Jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi Arjunasya raṇabhūmau praveśa-viṣayakam aṣṭāśītitamo 'dhyāyaḥ samāptaḥ.
サञ्जयは語った。「かくして、聖なる『マハーバーラタ』の『ドローナ・パルヴァ』に属する『ジャヤドラタ討伐章』において、アルジュナが戦場へ踏み入るさまを述べた第八十八章は終わった。この結語は、道義と物語の重大な転回を示す。アルジュナが自らの意志で戦場へ戻ることにより、誓願と義務（ダルマ）と、戦の苛烈な帰結との結びつきがいよいよ強まるのである。」

The colophon underscores the ethical weight of action in war: a warrior’s entry into battle is not mere violence but a choice bound to dharma, vows, and responsibility, with consequences that extend beyond personal emotion.
This is a concluding statement (chapter colophon) announcing that the eighty-eighth chapter of the Jayadratha-slaying section within Droṇa Parva has ended, specifically the portion dealing with Arjuna’s entry onto the battlefield.
