Yuddha-yajña-vyākhyāna (The Battle as Sacrifice): Ambarīṣa–Indra Saṃvāda
इति श्रीमहाभारते शान्तिपर्वणि राजधर्मानुशासनपर्वणि इन्द्राम्बरीषसंवादे अष्टनवतितमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi rājadharmānuśāsanaparvaṇi indrāmbārīṣasaṃvāde aṣṭanavatitamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Sa gayon, sa Śrī Mahābhārata, sa loob ng Śānti Parva—sa bahaging nagtuturo ng dharma ng mga hari—nagtatapos dito ang ika-98 kabanata, ang pag-uusap nina Indra at Haring Ambarīṣa.
भीष्म उवाच
This line is a colophon: it does not add a new teaching, but signals that the chapter within the Rājadharma instruction—framed as the Indra–Ambarīṣa dialogue—has concluded, emphasizing the text’s didactic setting on righteous governance.
Bhīṣma’s discourse to Yudhiṣṭhira is being organized into chapters; here the redactor’s closing formula marks the end of the ninety-eighth chapter of the Indra–Ambarīṣa conversation within the Śānti Parva’s royal-dharma instruction section.
