Sañjaya disse: Assim, no Śrī Mahābhārata, dentro do Droṇa Parva—especificamente na seção do abate de Jayadratha—conclui-se o capítulo cento e quatro, que trata do caráter intricado e caótico da batalha. A fórmula de encerramento ressalta a complexidade implacável da guerra e enquadra a narrativa como um registro moral de ações e consequências no âmbito da luta maior do dharma.

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.
