Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 126 — Kṛṣṇa’s Indictment of Misrule and the Varuṇa Analogy (कृष्णवाक्यं–धर्मपाशदृष्टान्तः)
इति श्रीमहाभारते उद्योगपर्वणि भगवद्यानपर्वणि दुर्योधनवाक्ये सप्तविंशत्यधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi bhagavadyānaparvaṇi duryodhanavākye saptaviṃśatyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
如是，在《圣摩诃婆罗多》中，于《优提瑜伽篇》之内——尤指“薄伽梵使行”（Bhagavad-yāna，世尊出使之章）——在都利约陀那之言的语境中，第一百二十七章至此告终。此为章末题记，标示本章闭合，并将其置于更宏大的法（dharma）危机之中：大战之前，外交既已破裂。

Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it teaches indirectly by framing the episode—Duryodhana’s stance during Kṛṣṇa’s embassy—as part of the moral and political breakdown that makes war imminent, highlighting how refusal of righteous counsel and diplomacy leads to catastrophe.
The chapter concludes. The colophon identifies the location in the epic (Udyoga Parva, Bhagavad-yāna section) and notes that the chapter’s content is associated with Duryodhana’s speech, marking the end of the 127th chapter in this sequence.
