Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 95 — Sātyaki’s Breakthrough and the Routing of Allied Contingents
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत द्रोणपर्वके अन्तर्गत जयद्रथवधपर्वमें श्रुतायुध और युदाक्षिणका वधविषयक बानबेवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṁ śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvake antargataṁ jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi śrutāyudha-yudākṣiṇor vadha-viṣayakaḥ bāṇabevāṁ adhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
サンジャヤは言った。――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、ジャヤドラタ討伐を語る章段のうち、シュルターユダとユダークシンの死を扱う第九十二章はここに終わる。この叙述は、戦の陰鬱な進行を刻み、名だたる戦士の没落が、復讐と策謀、そして戦場における自制の摩耗がもたらす容赦なき帰結を浮き彫りにする。

Educational Q&A
As a colophon-style closing, the verse does not teach a doctrine directly; it frames the ethical weight of the war by highlighting that celebrated fighters fall one after another, reminding the listener that violence—once unleashed—moves forward with grave and often irreversible consequences.
Sañjaya signals the end of the chapter within Droṇa Parva, specifying that this chapter’s subject was the slaying of Śrutāyudha and Yudākṣiṇ, and situating it within the broader Jayadratha-vadha episode.
