अध्याय १२२ — कृष्णस्य दुर्योधनं प्रति नीत्युपदेशः

Kṛṣṇa’s Ethical Counsel to Duryodhana

इति श्रीमहाभारते उद्योगपर्वणि भगवद्यानपर्वणि गालवचरिते त्रयोविंशत्यधिकशततमो<ध्याय:

iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi bhagavadyānaparvaṇi gālavacarite trayoviṁśatyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ

如是,在《圣摩诃婆罗多》之《优提瑜伽篇》(Udyoga Parva)中,尤指《薄伽梵出使》(Bhagavad-yāna)之段与伽罗婆(Gālava)事迹之插话,第一百二十三章告终。此为章末结语(colophon),既标明本章闭合,亦将叙事置于更宏阔的伦理框架之中:战争将至、正行之追求,以及誓愿与职责所招致的后果。

Educational Q&A

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it teaches indirectly by framing the episode within the Mahābhārata’s ethical architecture—actions and vows (as in Gālava’s story) are evaluated in the wider context of dharma and the looming conflict that demands discernment and restraint.

The text is closing the chapter: it identifies the work (Mahābhārata), the book (Udyoga Parva), the internal section (Bhagavad-yāna), and the sub-episode (Gālava-carita), and then states that this is the 123rd chapter.
