भीष्मरक्षण-प्रकरणम् / The Protective Screen around Bhīṣma and the Śalya–Yudhiṣṭhira Clash

Devanagari script

इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत भीष्मपर्वके अन्तर्गत भीष्यवधपर्वमें भीष्मके प्रति दुर्योधनका वचनविषयक सत्तानबेवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ

Transliteration

Iti prakāraṁ śrīmahābhārate bhīṣmaparvake antargataṁ bhīṣmavadhaparvaṇi bhīṣmaṁ prati duryodhanasya vacanaviṣayakaḥ saptānavatitamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ abhavat.

Translation

至此，《圣摩诃婆罗多》毗湿摩篇中、毗湿摩陨落（或毗湿摩之死）一节之内，关于都利约陀那对毗湿摩所言之章——第九十七章——宣告终了。此一正式收束，凸显战争的道德张力：君王的要求与责难指向一位为义务所系的长者，而战场的洪流仍逼迫着毗湿摩走向其注定的倾覆。
