Shloka 106
गालवस्य विषादः तथा विष्णुप्रयाणम्
Gālava’s Despair and Resolve to Seek Viṣṇu
इति श्रीमहाभारते उद्योगपर्वणि भगवद्यानपर्वणि गालवचरिते षडधिकशततमोड<्ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi bhagavadyānaparvaṇi gālavacarite ṣaḍadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
かくして『シュリー・マハーバーラタ』ウディヨーガ・パルヴァにおける—「バガヴァッド・ヤーナ」（主の使命）に属し、ガーラヴァの物語に含まれる—第百六章は終わる。この結語は一つの叙事単位の完結を告げ、迫り来る戦争という大いなる倫理的危機と、正しき解決を求める努力の枠内に本譚が置かれていることを聴き手に想起させる。
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it teaches how the Mahābhārata organizes meaning through structure—episodes (like Gālava’s) are embedded within larger moral arcs (the Udyoga Parva’s preparations and attempts at peace). The ethical implication is that individual stories are to be read in the light of the broader dharmic crisis leading toward war.
The text is marking the end of a chapter and identifying its placement: within the Udyoga Parva, specifically the Bhagavad-yāna section, and within the Gālava episode. It functions as a formal closure and locator for recitation and study.
