Shloka 119
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
Assim, no Śrī Mahābhārata, dentro do Udyoga Parva, na seção do Bhagavad-yāna (a missão divina), no episódio que narra a história de Gālava, encerra-se o capítulo cento e dezenove. Este colofão assinala o término do capítulo e o situa no quadro ético e narrativo do Udyoga Parva, onde se destacam os esforços pela paz, o dever e a reta conduta, mesmo com a guerra se aproximando.
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.
