iti prakāraṃ śrīmahābhārate droṇaparvake antargataṃ jayadrathavadhaparvaṇi saṅkulayuddhaviṣayaka ekaśatacaturadhikaśatamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
Sinabi ni Sañjaya: Kaya nga, sa Śrī Mahābhārata, sa loob ng Droṇa Parva—lalo na sa bahaging ukol sa pagpaslang kay Jayadratha—natapos ang ika-isang daan at ika-apat na kabanata, na tumatalakay sa masalimuot at magulong anyo ng labanan. Ang pormulang pangwakas na ito’y nagtatampok sa walang humpay na pagkakumplikado ng digmaan at inilalagay ang salaysay bilang talaang moral ng mga gawa at bunga sa mas malawak na pakikibakang dharmiko.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the battle narrative as a documented sequence within a dharmic conflict, emphasizing that war becomes 'saṅkula' (entangled/chaotic) and that events are to be understood in terms of moral causality and consequence.
This is the formal closing statement for the 104th chapter of the Jayadratha-slaying section within the Droṇa Parva, indicating that the chapter focused on the confused, densely interwoven fighting and is now complete.
