Shloka 295
Vidyā–Avidyā and the Twenty-Fifth Principle
Sāṃkhya–Yoga Clarification
इति श्रीमहाभारते शान्तिपर्वणि मोक्षधर्मपर्वणि पराशरगीतायां पजञ्चनवत्यधिकद्धिशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi mokṣadharmaparvaṇi parāśaragītāyāṃ pañcanavatyadhika-dviśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
وهكذا، في «شري مهابهاراتا»، ضمن شانتِي بارفَن (Śānti Parvan)—وخاصةً في قسم موكشا-دهرما (Mokṣa-dharma)—ينتهي الفصل الخامس والتسعون بعد المئتين، المعروف باسم «باراشارا-غيتا». وهذا خاتمةٌ (colophon) تُثبت إغلاق خطابٍ تعليميّ منسوبٍ إلى الحكيم باراشارا، واردٍ ضمن التأمّل الأخلاقي والتحرّري الأوسع في المهابهاراتا بعد الحرب.

Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals the completion of a Mokṣa-dharma teaching unit called the Parāśara-gītā within the Śānti Parvan, framing the discourse as guidance toward liberation and right conduct.
The text is closing a chapter: it formally records that the Mahābhārata’s Śānti Parvan, in its Mokṣa-dharma portion, has reached the end of Adhyāya 295, associated with the sage Parāśara’s instruction.
