इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत शान्तिपर्वके अन्तर्गत राजधमनुशासनपर्वमें माता-पिता और गुरुका माहात्म्यविषयक एक सौ आठवाँ अध्याय पूरा हआ
iti prakāraṃ śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi antargate rājadharmānuśāsanaparvaṇi mātā-pitṛ-guru-māhātmyaviṣayaka ekaśatāṣṭamo 'dhyāyaḥ samāptaḥ
وهكذا يكتمل الفصل الثامن بعد المئة من المهابهاراتا، في شانتِي بارفا (Śānti Parva)، ضمن قسم تعليم دارما الملوك، في بيان عظمة الأم والأب والمعلّم وقداستهم. ويختم السرد هذه الوحدة من الوصايا الأخلاقية بإعلان تمامها على وجهٍ رسمي.

Educational Q&A
The chapter’s stated focus is the māhātmya (exalted importance) of mother, father, and guru—affirming that honoring these foundational relationships is central to dharma and to the ethical formation expected of a ruler and citizen alike.
This verse functions as a colophon: it formally announces the completion of the 108th chapter within the Śānti Parva’s rājadharma instruction section, marking the end of a unit of Bhīṣma’s counsel.
