Transliteration

iti śrīmahābhārate vanaparvaṇi draupadī-satyabhāmā-saṃvāda-parvaṇi kṛṣṇa-gamane pañcatriṃśad-adhika-dviśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ

Translation

Так завершается в священной «Махабхарате», в составе «Лесной книги» (Вана-парва), раздел под названием «Беседа Драупади и Сатьябхамы», глава о том, как Кришна отправился в путь,—глава 235. Этот заключительный колофон обрамляет эпизод как назидательный разговор о дхарме между двумя образцовыми женщинами и отмечает поворот повествования: с уходом Кришны рассказ переходит от совета и размышления к дальнейшему развертыванию действия.

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

As a colophon, the verse itself teaches by framing the preceding episode as a purposeful saṃvāda (dialogue) meant to guide conduct—especially the ethical and dharmic dimensions of household life, marital duty, and self-discipline—before the story moves on with Kṛṣṇa’s departure.

What is happening in the narrative?

The text is concluding the chapter/episode: it identifies the book (Vana Parva), the sub-episode (Draupadī–Satyabhāmā dialogue), and the immediate narrative marker (Kṛṣṇa’s departure), indicating a transition to the next chapter.
