Saṃvaraṇa’s Collapse, Ministerial Aid, and Vasiṣṭha’s Approach to Sūrya
इति श्रीमहाभारते आदिपर्वणि बकवधपर्वणि कुन्तीयुधिष्ठिरसंवादे एकषष्ट्यधिकशततमो< ध्याय:,इस प्रकार श्रीमह्या भारत आदिपर्वके अन्तर्गत बकवधपर्वमें कुन्ती-युधिष्िर-संवादविषयक एक सौ इकसठवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti śrīmahābhārate ādiparvaṇi bakavadhaparvaṇi kuntī-yudhiṣṭhira-saṃvāde ekaṣaṣṭyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
Sa gayon nagwakas ang ika-isang daan at animnapu’t isang kabanata ng Ādi Parva ng Śrī Mahābhārata, sa bahaging tumatalakay sa pagpaslang kay Baka, sa pag-uusap nina Kuntī at Yudhiṣṭhira. Sa pagtatapos, inilarawan ang kanilang palitan bilang pagninilay sa wastong asal: paano kikilos nang matuwid sa gitna ng panganib, na binabalanse ang habag sa kapwa at ang pananagutan sa sariling pamilya, ayon sa hinihingi ng dharma.
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
The colophon signals that the preceding exchange is to be read as a dharma-discussion: right action is not merely personal safety, but includes protecting others, weighing consequences, and accepting duty even under threat.
This is the closing colophon of the chapter, stating that the Ādi Parva’s Bakavadha section has presented a dialogue between Kuntī and Yudhiṣṭhira, and that the one-hundred-and-sixty-first chapter has concluded.
