Assim termina o centésimo octogésimo capítulo do Udyoga Parva do Śrī Mahābhārata, na seção Āmba-upākhyāna, descrevendo a batalha entre Paraśurāma e Bhīṣma. Este colofão final assinala a conclusão do episódio e enquadra o conflito como uma prova consequente do dharma, dos votos e do peso moral da determinação marcial.

Educational Q&A
Even a formally concluded episode highlights the Mahābhārata’s ethical tension: vows and duty can collide, and martial excellence is not morally neutral—its legitimacy depends on dharma, intention, and the obligations one has accepted.
This is a closing colophon stating that the 180th chapter has ended, within the Āmba episode of the Udyoga Parva, specifically the portion dealing with the combat between Paraśurāma and Bhīṣma.
