Chapter 43: Tumult of Battle-Sounds and the Proliferation of Dvandva
Paired Engagements
भीष्मपर्वणि तु अष्टात्रिंशो5ध्याय:,भीष्मपर्वमें अड़तीसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
bhīṣmaparvaṇi tu aṣṭātriṃśo 'dhyāyaḥ; bhīṣmaparvameṃ aṛatīsavāṃ adhyāya pūrā huā
Demikianlah, dalam Bhīṣma Parva, tamatlah bab yang ketiga puluh lapan.
अजुन उवाच
This line does not present a doctrinal teaching; it functions as a colophon indicating the completion of a chapter. Its value is structural—helping readers track divisions in the Bhīṣma Parva, where major ethical and dharmic discussions occur in the surrounding narrative.
The narrative moment is a formal pause: the text signals that the thirty-eighth chapter within the Bhīṣma Parva has concluded, preparing the reader to proceed to the next chapter.
