भीष्मरथाभिमुख्यं — Arjuna’s advance with Śikhaṇḍin; Duḥśāsana’s interception
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत भीष्मपर्वके अन्तर्गत भीष्मवधपर्वमें भीमपराक्रमविषयक एक यौ दोवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṁ śrīmahābhārate bhīṣmaparvake antargataṁ bhīṣmavadhaparvaṇi bhīmaparākramaviṣayaka eka-yā dvāvāṁ adhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
ഇങ്ങനെ ശ്രീമഹാഭാരതത്തിലെ ഭീഷ്മപർവ്വത്തിനകത്തെ ഭീഷ്മവധപർവ്വത്തിൽ ഭീമപരാക്രമവിഷയകമായ നൂറ്റി രണ്ടാം അധ്യായം സമാപ്തമായി।

Educational Q&A
This verse functions as a colophon rather than a doctrinal teaching: it emphasizes orderly transmission of the epic by marking the completion of a chapter focused on Bhīma’s prowess within the morally complex setting of the Kurukṣetra war, reminding readers that heroic action is being recorded and evaluated within a dharma-laden narrative.
Sañjaya signals the end of the chapter (Adhyāya 106) in the Bhīṣma Parva, specifying that it belongs to the Bhīṣma-vadha section and that its subject is Bhīma’s mighty deeds; it is a structural closing line rather than an event-description.
