Arjuna’s Forward Drive Toward Bhīṣma
इति श्रीमहाभारते भीष्मपर्वणि भीष्मवधपर्वणि भीष्मदुर्योधनसंवादे नवाधिकशततमोडध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate bhīṣmaparvaṇi bhīṣmavadhaparvaṇi bhīṣma-duryodhana-saṃvāde navādhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
ഇതി ശ്രീമഹാഭാരതത്തിലെ ഭീഷ്മപർവത്തിൽ, ഭീഷ്മവധപർവാന്തർഗതമായി, ഭീഷ്മ–ദുര്യോധന സംവാദത്തെ സംബന്ധിക്കുന്ന നൂറ്റൊമ്പതാമത്തെ അധ്യായം സമാപ്തമായി।

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the episode ethically by marking that the narrative belongs to the account of Bhīṣma’s fall and his exchange with Duryodhana—highlighting how counsel, duty, and moral responsibility are tested amid war.
This is the formal closing line of a chapter: Sañjaya signals that the chapter concludes within the Bhīṣma Parva, in the subsection dealing with Bhīṣma’s downfall, specifically during the Bhīṣma–Duryodhana conversation.
