Shloka 102
भीष्मरथाभिमुख्यं — Arjuna’s advance with Śikhaṇḍin; Duḥśāsana’s interception
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत भीष्मपर्वके अन्तर्गत भीष्मवधपर्वमें भीमपराक्रमविषयक एक यौ दोवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṁ śrīmahābhārate bhīṣmaparvake antargataṁ bhīṣmavadhaparvaṇi bhīmaparākramaviṣayaka eka-yā dvāvāṁ adhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
Sañjaya thưa: Như vậy, trong Śrī Mahābhārata, thuộc Bhīṣma Parva, trong phần nói về việc Bhīṣma bị hạ sát, chương thứ một trăm lẻ hai—kể về uy lực phi thường của Bhīma—đã kết thúc.

Educational Q&A
This verse functions as a colophon rather than a doctrinal teaching: it emphasizes orderly transmission of the epic by marking the completion of a chapter focused on Bhīma’s prowess within the morally complex setting of the Kurukṣetra war, reminding readers that heroic action is being recorded and evaluated within a dharma-laden narrative.
Sañjaya signals the end of the chapter (Adhyāya 106) in the Bhīṣma Parva, specifying that it belongs to the Bhīṣma-vadha section and that its subject is Bhīma’s mighty deeds; it is a structural closing line rather than an event-description.
