Uttarā-diśā Māhātmya — Suparṇa’s Praise of the Northern Quarter
Suparṇa–Gālava Saṃvāda
इति श्रीमहाभारते उद्योगपर्वणि भगवद्यानपर्वणि गालवचरिते दशाधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi bhagavadyānaparvaṇi gālavacarite daśādhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Sa gayon nagwakas ang ika-isang daan at sampung kabanata sa Udyoga Parva ng Śrī Mahābhārata—sa bahaging Bhagavad-yāna (ang paglalakbay ng Panginoon), sa salaysay ng buhay ni Gālava.
युपर्ण उवाच
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals closure and situates the reader within the Mahābhārata’s structure (parva, sub-section, and episode). Ethically, such framing underscores that events are to be read in context—here, the broader preparations for conflict and the Lord’s peace-mission backdrop.
The text is marking the end of Adhyāya 110 within the Gālava episode, placed under the Bhagavad-yāna section of the Udyoga Parva. It functions as a formal conclusion to the chapter rather than advancing the plot directly.
