iti śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvaṇi jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi ambaṣṭhavadhē trinavatitamo 'dhyāyaḥ || 93 ||
サンジャヤは言った。「かくして、聖なる『マハーバーラタ』のうち、『ドローナ・パルヴァ』—とりわけ『ジャヤドラタ討伐』の章段において—アンバシュタ殺害を扱う第九十三章は、ここに結了した。これは篇末の結語(コロフォン)であり、この叙述単位の終わりを示すとともに、誓願・報復・戦場の義務がもたらす帰結が累積してゆく大戦の大きな倫理的・戦略的流れの中へ、この出来事を位置づけるのである。」

As a colophon, the verse primarily teaches how the epic frames events: individual killings and episodes are nested within larger vows, strategies, and duties. It reminds the reader that war narratives are recorded with accountability—each act belongs to a broader chain of causes and consequences within dharma and adharma.
This is the formal closing statement for the chapter: it announces that the ninety-third chapter—about the killing of an Ambaṣṭha—has ended, and it locates that chapter within Droṇa Parva and within the sub-section focused on Jayadratha’s death.
