Shloka 271
Indrajit’s Binding, Restoration by Viśalyā, and Counsel Restraining Rāvaṇa (Āraṇyaka Parva 273)
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्या भारत वनपववके अन्तर्गत द्रौपदीहरणपर्वमें जयद्रथपलायनविषयक दो सौ इकह्तत्तरवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
Iti prakāraṃ śrīmahābhārate vanaparvaṇi antar-gate draupadīharaṇaparvaṇi jayadrathapalāyanaviṣayakaḥ dviśataika-saptatitamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ.
Sa gayon nagwakas ang ika-271 kabanata ng Vana Parva ng Mahābhārata, sa loob ng bahaging Draupadī-haraṇa, na tumatalakay sa pagtakas ni Jayadratha. Itinatatak ng pangwakas na pahayag ang pagtatapos ng pangyayaring ito, na binibigyang-diin na ang maling pagnanasa at paglabag sa dharma ay humahantong sa takot, pagkatalo, at kahihiyan, samantalang ang matatag na pag-iingat sa naaapi ay isang tungkuling moral.

The colophon signals the moral arc of the episode: adharma—here, the violation of a protected woman’s dignity—culminates in defeat and fearful retreat, while righteous resistance and protection of the wronged are affirmed as dharmic duties.
This is the closing notice of the chapter that treats Jayadratha’s flight in the Draupadī-abduction episode within the Vana Parva; it formally concludes that chapter in the Gītā Press-style framing.
