Sāvitrī–Satyavān Vivāha: Kanyāpradāna and Āśrama-Śīla (सावित्री-सत्यवान्विवाहः)

Devanagari script

इति श्रीमहाभारते वनपर्वणि रामोपाख्यानपर्वणि मारीचवधे सीताहरणे च अष्टसप्तत्यधिकद्धिशततमो<5ध्याय:

Transliteration

iti śrīmahābhārate vanaparvaṇi rāmopākhyānaparvaṇi mārīcavadhe sītāharaṇe ca aṣṭasaptatyadhika-dviśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ

Translation

かくして『シュリー・マハーバーラタ』林住篇（ヴァナ・パルヴァ）、いわゆる「ラーモーパークヒヤーナ」において、マーリーチャ討伐とシーター略奪の段を扱う第二百七十八章は終わる。これは章末の奥書であり、章の完結を告げるとともに、物語をラーマ伝の倫理的枠組みに位置づける—欺きと欲望が非道へと結実し、その帰結がダルマにかなう応答の舞台を整えるのである。
