Vāraṇāvata-prasaṃsā and the Pāṇḍavas’ Departure (वरणावत-प्रशंसा तथा पाण्डव-प्रयाणम्)
इति श्रीमहा भारते आदिपर्वणि सम्भवपर्वणि भीष्मद्रोणसमागमे त्रिंशयधिकशततमो< ध्याय:,इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत आदिपव॑के अन्तर्गत सम्भवपर्वमें भीष्य-द्रोण-समागमविषयक एक सौ तीसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti śrīmahābhārate ādiparvaṇi sambhavaparvaṇi bhīṣma-droṇa-samāgame triṃśay-adhika-śatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
Sa gayon, sa Śrī Mahābhārata, sa loob ng Ādi Parva at lalo na sa Sambhava Parva, nagwakas ang ika-isang daan at tatlumpung kabanata—na nagsasalaysay ng pagtatagpo nina Bhīṣma at Droṇa. Itinatala ng kolopon ang pagkatapos ng bahaging ito ng salaysay, at inilalagay ang pangyayaring iyon sa mas malawak na kuwento ng mga pinagmulan at paghubog ng daigdig ng Kuru, na sa dakong huli’y hahantong sa tunggalian at pagsubok sa dharma.

Educational Q&A
This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it teaches how the Mahābhārata self-organizes its narrative into parvas and adhyāyas. By naming the episode as the 'Bhīṣma–Droṇa meeting,' it signals the ethical and historical importance of relationships among elders and teachers that shape later dharmic dilemmas and the conduct of war.
The narrative unit concerning the meeting/association of Bhīṣma and Droṇa has concluded. The text formally closes Chapter 130 within the Sambhava Parva of the Ādi Parva, indicating a transition point to the next chapter/episode.
