नारदकथितं माधव्याः तपश्चर्या–ययातेः स्वर्गविचारः | Nārada on Mādhavī’s Asceticism and the Scrutiny of Yayāti in Heaven
इति श्रीमहाभारते उद्योगपर्वणि भगवद्यानपर्वणि गालवचरिते एकोनविंशत्यधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi bhagavadyānaparvaṇi gālavacarite ekonaviṁśatyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Demikianlah, dalam Śrī Mahābhārata, pada Udyoga Parva, dalam bahagian Bhagavad-yāna (misi ketuhanan), dalam kisah Galava, berakhirlah bab yang ke-seratus sembilan belas. Ini ialah kolofon yang menandai penutupan bab serta menempatkannya dalam bingkai etika dan naratif Udyoga Parva, yang menonjolkan usaha menuju perdamaian, kewajipan, dan kelakuan benar meskipun perang kian mendekat.
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it teaches indirectly by emphasizing textual and ethical framing—placing Galava’s episode within the Udyoga Parvan’s larger concern with right conduct, negotiation, and the moral weight of decisions made on the brink of conflict.
The chapter concludes. The colophon identifies the work (Mahābhārata), the book (Udyoga Parvan), the sub-section (Bhagavad-yāna), and the episode (Galava’s story), and states that this is the 119th chapter.
