ययातिपतनम् — Yayāti’s Fall and the Offer of Dharma
Nārada’s Account
इति श्रीमहाभारते उद्योगपर्वणि भगवद्यानपर्वणि गालवचरिते ययातिमोहे विंशत्यधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi bhagavadyānaparvaṇi gālavacarite yayātimohe viṃśatyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Sa ganito nagtatapos ang ika-120 kabanata ng Udyoga Parva ng Śrī Mahābhārata—sa loob ng bahaging Bhagavad-yāna (ang pagkaparoon ng Panginoon bilang sugo)—kung saan ang salaysay tungkol kay Gālava ay humantong sa pangyayaring tinatawag na “Pagkalito ni Yayāti.” Ang pangwakas na kolopon na ito ang hudyat ng pagwawakas ng aral-moral ng kabanata hinggil sa pagnanasa, tungkulin, at mga bunga ng mga pasyang nagbubusabos sa tao sa pagdurusa.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not add new dialogue but frames the completed episode: it points the reader to the ethical burden of moha (delusion) and kāma-driven choices, implying that clarity, restraint, and dharma-aligned action are necessary to avoid bondage and regret.
This line is the formal closing statement of the chapter in the Gālava narrative, identifying the textual location (Udyoga Parva, Bhagavad-yāna section) and naming the episode theme as “Yayāti’s Delusion,” thereby marking the end of that chapter’s narration.
