Adhyāya 70: Sātyaki’s Arrow-Display and the Bhūriśravas Engagement; Twilight Withdrawal

इस प्रकार श्रीमहा भारत भीष्मपर्वके अन्तर्गत भीष्मवधपर्वमें विश्वोपाख्यानविषयक छाछठवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ

iti prakāraṁ śrīmahābhārate bhīṣmaparvaṇi antargate bhīṣmavadhaparvaṇi viśvopākhyāna-viṣayakaḥ ṣaṭṣaṣṭitamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ

至此,《神圣摩诃婆罗多》毗湿摩篇之毗湿摩陨落品中,论“毗湿婆奥帕迦耶那”(Viśvopākhyāna)之第六十六章告终。此结尾题记标示一段叙事单元的完成:其置身于俱卢之野(Kurukṣetra)大战的道义与谋略张力之中,而毗湿摩之陨落为框,映照对责任、劝诫以及正行与邪行之果报的省思。

Educational Q&A

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it teaches how the epic is organized into parvas and sub-sections, and it signals closure of a thematic unit. In context, such closures frame the war narrative with reminders of order, continuity, and the ethical weight carried by the episodes surrounding Bhīṣma’s fall.

The text is marking the completion of the sixty-sixth chapter focused on the Viśvopākhyāna episode, situated within the Bhīṣmavadha section of the Bhīṣma Parva. It functions as an editorial/narrative boundary rather than describing an action within the story.
