Sañjaya berkata: Demikianlah, dalam Śrī Mahābhārata, di dalam Droṇa Parva—khususnya dalam bahagian pembunuhan Jayadratha—selesailah bab ke-seratus empat yang membicarakan pertempuran yang kusut dan kacau. Rumusan penutup ini menegaskan kerumitan perang yang tidak berkesudahan dan membingkai kisah sebagai catatan moral tentang perbuatan dan akibat dalam perjuangan dharma yang lebih besar.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the battle narrative as a documented sequence within a dharmic conflict, emphasizing that war becomes 'saṅkula' (entangled/chaotic) and that events are to be understood in terms of moral causality and consequence.
This is the formal closing statement for the 104th chapter of the Jayadratha-slaying section within the Droṇa Parva, indicating that the chapter focused on the confused, densely interwoven fighting and is now complete.
