Suparṇa–Gālava संवाद
इति श्रीमहाभारते उद्योगपर्वणि भगवद्यानपर्वणि गालवचरिते नवाधिकशततमोड<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi bhagavadyānaparvaṇi gālavacarite navādhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Sa gayon nagtatapos ang ika-isang daan at siyam na kabanata sa Udyoga Parva ng Śrī Mahābhārata—sa bahaging Bhagavad-yāna (ang paglalakbay bilang sugo ng Panginoon), sa salaysay ng kasaysayan ni Gālava. Ang kolopon na ito ang pormal na tanda ng pagsasara ng kabanata, at inilalagay ang kuwento sa mas malawak na balangkas ng aral, tungkulin, at paghahanap ng makatarungang pagwawakas bago sumiklab ang digmaan.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not add new instruction; it frames the reading ethically by locating the Galava episode within the Bhagavad-yāna context—where counsel, restraint, and rightful action (dharma) are weighed before conflict.
The chapter concludes. The text formally signals that this is the end of the 109th chapter within the Udyoga Parva, specifically in the Bhagavad-yāna section, and that the preceding material belonged to the Galava narrative.
