iti śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvaṇi jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi saṅkulayuddhe saptādhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Sañjaya berkata: Demikianlah, dalam Śrī Mahābhārata yang suci, di dalam Droṇa Parva—dalam Jayadrathavadha Parva—bab yang ke-seratus tujuh, yang menggambarkan pertempuran yang kacau dan saling berbelit rapat, telah berakhir. Rumusan penutup ini membingkai kisah sebagai catatan moral tentang perang, tempat kewajipan, strategi, serta akibat sumpah dan keganasan bertemu.

Educational Q&A
This is a colophon marking the chapter’s close, reminding the reader that the war narrative is preserved as a sacred moral history: chaotic combat (saṅkula-yuddha) is not mere spectacle but a field where dharma, vows, and consequences are tested and recorded.
The verse does not advance the plot directly; it formally concludes the chapter within Droṇa Parva, situating it in the Jayadratha-slaying section and characterizing the events as a tangled, confused battle.
