Ādi-parva Adhyāya 116 — Pāṇḍu’s Transgression of the Curse and Mādrī’s Final Charge
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत आदिपर्वके अन्तर्गत सम्भवपर्वमें गान्धारीपुत्रोत्पत्तिविषयक एक सौ चौदहवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
Iti prakāraḥ śrīmahābhārate ādiparvake antargata-sambhavaparvaṇi gāndhārīputrotpatti-viṣayaka ekaśata-caturdaśatamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ.
Assim termina o centésimo décimo quarto capítulo da seção Sambhava, no Ādi Parva do venerável Mahābhārata, acerca do nascimento dos filhos de Gāndhārī. A fórmula de encerramento assinala a conclusão de uma unidade narrativa e evidencia a cuidadosa organização da linhagem e da causalidade, elementos fundamentais para as tensões éticas que mais adiante se desdobrarão.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
This is a colophon-style closing that emphasizes the Mahābhārata’s concern with origins and lineage. By formally concluding a chapter on Gāndhārī’s progeny, it underlines how family lines and their beginnings become the groundwork for later moral conflict and responsibility.
The narrator signals that the chapter has ended: the 114th chapter within the Sambhava portion of the Ādi Parva, focused on the birth of Gāndhārī’s sons, is complete. It functions as a structural marker rather than a new plot event.
