Sanjaya menutup: Demikianlah, dalam Karna Parva Mahabharata yang mulia, tamatlah bab ke-seratus tujuh puluh satu yang berpusat pada sumpah Arjuna—menandai penutupan satu unit kisah, ketika tekad peribadi dibingkai sebagai ikrar dharma di bawah tekanan perang.

This line is a formal end-of-chapter colophon: Sanjaya signals that the chapter in Karna Parva dealing with Arjuna’s vow has concluded.
