Shloka 119
नारदकथितं माधव्याः तपश्चर्या–ययातेः स्वर्गविचारः | Nārada on Mādhavī’s Asceticism and the Scrutiny of Yayāti in Heaven
इति श्रीमहाभारते उद्योगपर्वणि भगवद्यानपर्वणि गालवचरिते एकोनविंशत्यधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi bhagavadyānaparvaṇi gālavacarite ekonaviṁśatyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Sa gayon, sa Śrī Mahābhārata, sa loob ng Udyoga Parva, sa bahaging Bhagavad-yāna (ang banal na misyon), sa salaysay ng buhay ni Gālava, nagtatapos ang ika-isang daan at labinsiyam na kabanata. Ito ang pangwakas na pahayag (colophon) na nagmamarka ng pagsasara ng kabanata at inilalagay ito sa mas malawak na balangkas ng Udyoga Parva, kung saan itinatampok ang pagsisikap para sa kapayapaan, tungkulin, at wastong asal kahit papalapit na ang digmaan.
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it teaches indirectly by emphasizing textual and ethical framing—placing Galava’s episode within the Udyoga Parvan’s larger concern with right conduct, negotiation, and the moral weight of decisions made on the brink of conflict.
The chapter concludes. The colophon identifies the work (Mahābhārata), the book (Udyoga Parvan), the sub-section (Bhagavad-yāna), and the episode (Galava’s story), and states that this is the 119th chapter.
