Так, в почитаемой «Махабхарате», в «Удьйога-парве» — а именно в разделе о выступлении войск — завершается сто пятьдесят четвёртая глава, излагающая беседу Юдхиштхиры и Арджуны. (Это официальный колофон, отмечающий конец главы.)
वैशग्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a teaching-verse: it frames the ethical setting by locating the discourse within the war-preparation context and identifying it as a Yudhiṣṭhira–Arjuna dialogue, signaling that dharma is being deliberated amid impending conflict.
The chapter concludes. The text formally states that, within Udyoga Parva and the Sainyaniryāṇa section (the mobilization of armies), the 154th chapter—centered on the conversation between Yudhiṣṭhira and Arjuna—has ended.
