Bhīṣma–Karṇa Saṃvāda on the Śaraśayyā (भीष्म–कर्ण संवादः शरशय्यायाम्)

iti śrīmahābhārate bhīṣmaparvaṇi bhīṣmavadhaparvaṇi bhīmārjunaparākrame caturdaśādhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
至此,《圣摩诃婆罗多》中“毗湿摩篇”——尤指“毗湿摩之陨”一段——第一百一十四章(第114章),叙述毗摩与阿周那之英勇威势者,宣告终了。(三阇耶结语题记。)

This verse is a colophon marking the close of a chapter and situating it within the epic’s structure. Ethically, it underscores how the Mahābhārata frames war-narrative through named themes—here, Bhīṣma’s fall and the valor of Bhīma and Arjuna—inviting the reader to reflect on heroism and duty (kṣātra-dharma) within the larger moral arc of the war.
Sañjaya concludes the chapter by formally stating its placement: in the Mahābhārata, within the Bhīṣma Parva, in the episode concerning Bhīṣma’s slaying, and focused on the prowess of Bhīma and Arjuna. It functions as an editorial/narrative closure rather than a new event.
