三阇耶说道:至此,在神圣的《摩诃婆罗多》中,于《毗湿摩篇》之内——即论及毗湿摩陨落之章——叙述毗湿摩与尸佉ṇḍī相会的第一百零八章告终。

As a colophon-like closing, the verse teaches that epic events—especially violent turning points—are to be remembered within a moral frame. The formal conclusion signals accountability: war episodes are not mere spectacle but recorded as dharma-laden actions with lasting ethical consequences.
This is the chapter-ending statement: it declares that the 108th chapter, focused on the meeting/encounter of Bhishma and Shikhandi within the Bhishma-vadha section of the Bhishma Parva, has been completed, with Sanjaya as the speaker.
