Transliteration

iti śrīmahābhārate ādiparvaṇi sambhavaparvaṇi kuntīvivahe ekādaśādhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ

Translation

Так, в «Шри Махабхарате», в составе Ади-парвы — а именно Самбхава-парвы — здесь завершается сто одиннадцатая глава, посвященная браку Кунти. Этот колофон отмечает закрытие отдельного повествовательного звена, помещая союз Кунти в широкий рассказ о происхождении и родословии, которые впоследствии определят обязанности, союзы и нравственные напряжения династической жизни.

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

As a colophon, the verse primarily teaches textual orientation: it frames Kuntī’s marriage as part of the Mahābhārata’s broader concern with origins and the formation of relationships that later become arenas for dharma—duty, legitimacy, and the ethical consequences of dynastic choices.

What is happening in the narrative?

The chapter ends. The colophon identifies the work (Mahābhārata), the book (Ādi Parva), the sub-section (Sambhava Parva), and the episode/theme (Kuntī’s marriage), and states that this is the 111th chapter.
