Shloka 235
दुर्योधनस्य हास्तिनपुरप्रवेशः
Duryodhana’s Return toward Hastinapura; Karṇa’s Consolation
इति श्रीमहाभारते वनपर्वणि द्रौपदीसत्यभामासंवादपर्वणि कृष्णगमने पज्चत्रिंशदधिकद्विशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate vanaparvaṇi draupadī-satyabhāmā-saṃvāda-parvaṇi kṛṣṇa-gamane pañcatriṃśad-adhika-dviśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Sa ganito nagwawakas, sa Śrī Mahābhārata, sa loob ng Vana Parva, ang bahaging pinamagatang “Ang Pag-uusap nina Draupadī at Satyabhāmā,” ang kabanatang tumatalakay sa pag-alis ni Kṛṣṇa—Kabanata 235. Ipinapakita ng pangwakas na kolofon na ito ang tagpong iyon bilang isang aral na pag-uusap sa dharma sa pagitan ng dalawang huwarang babae, at itinatakda ang paglipat ng salaysay habang umaalis si Kṛṣṇa, mula sa payo at pagninilay pabalik sa umuusad na pagkilos.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse itself teaches by framing the preceding episode as a purposeful saṃvāda (dialogue) meant to guide conduct—especially the ethical and dharmic dimensions of household life, marital duty, and self-discipline—before the story moves on with Kṛṣṇa’s departure.
The text is concluding the chapter/episode: it identifies the book (Vana Parva), the sub-episode (Draupadī–Satyabhāmā dialogue), and the immediate narrative marker (Kṛṣṇa’s departure), indicating a transition to the next chapter.
