Pāṇḍu’s Marriages, Conquests, and Triumphal Return (पाण्डोर्विवाह-विजय-प्रत्यागमनम्)
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्या भारत आदिपर्वके अन्तर्गत सम्भवपर्वमें भीष्म-सत्यवती-संवादविषयक एक सौ तीनवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ

Demikianlah berakhir bab yang ke-103 dalam bahagian Sambhava, di bawah Ādi Parva bagi Mahābhārata yang suci, yang berpusat pada dialog antara Bhīṣma dan Satyavatī. Rumusan penutup ini menandai tamatnya episod tersebut, menegaskan beratnya sumpah, tanggungjawab dinasti, dan pembentukan keturunan Kuru melalui keputusan yang berprinsip namun mahal harganya.

Educational Q&A
The chapter’s closure points back to the ethical tension explored in the Bhīṣma–Satyavatī dialogue: personal sacrifice and steadfast vows are portrayed as instruments for protecting dynastic continuity and social order, even when they demand severe renunciation.
This is a colophon-style concluding line: Vaiśampāyana signals that the episode and chapter focused on the Bhīṣma–Satyavatī conversation within the Sambhava Parva (origins section) has ended.
