ययातिपतनम् — Yayāti’s Fall and the Offer of Dharma
Nārada’s Account
इति श्रीमहाभारते उद्योगपर्वणि भगवद्यानपर्वणि गालवचरिते ययातिमोहे विंशत्यधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi bhagavadyānaparvaṇi gālavacarite yayātimohe viṃśatyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
至此,《圣摩诃婆罗多》之《优提瑜伽篇》(Udyoga Parva)中“世尊使节篇”(Bhagavad-yāna)里,“迦罗婆传”(Gālava-carita)所叙,终于以“耶耶提之迷妄”(Yayāti’s Delusion)一段而告终:第一百二十章完。此章末题记昭示本章义理之总结——欲望与责任,以及抉择之果报如何系缚众生于苦。
नारद उवाच
As a colophon, the verse does not add new dialogue but frames the completed episode: it points the reader to the ethical burden of moha (delusion) and kāma-driven choices, implying that clarity, restraint, and dharma-aligned action are necessary to avoid bondage and regret.
This line is the formal closing statement of the chapter in the Gālava narrative, identifying the textual location (Udyoga Parva, Bhagavad-yāna section) and naming the episode theme as “Yayāti’s Delusion,” thereby marking the end of that chapter’s narration.
