Bhīmasena’s Capture by the Serpent and Nahūṣa’s Self-Disclosure (भीमसेन-भुजङ्गग्रहणं नहुषोपाख्यानप्रस्तावः)
इति श्रीमहाभारते वनपर्वणि निवातकवचयुद्धपर्वणि अस्त्रदर्शने पजञ्चसप्तत्यधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate vanaparvaṇi nivātakavacayuddhaparvaṇi astradarśane pañcasaptatyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
如是,在《圣摩诃婆罗多》之《林居篇》(Vana Parva)中,于“与尼瓦塔迦瓦恰之战”之支段,在“天界神兵之揭示与演示”一节里,第一百七十六章告终。此句为正式题跋(colophon),标示一段叙事单元的收束:强调以纪律而得力(阿斯特拉之学),并以法(dharma)为界,守其节制,不使逾矩。
वैशग्पायन उवाच
As a colophon, the verse does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the ethical arc of the section: divine power (astras) is to be received through discipline and used within dharma, not as mere violence.
The line marks the conclusion of Chapter 176 in the Vana Parva, specifically within the episode of the Nivātakavaca battle and the subsection describing the revelation/demonstration of celestial weapons.
