इति कृत्यसमुद्देश: कीर्तितस्ते मयानघ । तरन्ते येन दुर्गाणि परत्रेह च मानवा:,निष्पाप युधिष्ठिर! इस प्रकार मैंने यहाँ संक्षेपसे उस कर्तव्यका प्रतिपादन किया है, जिसका पालन करनेसे मनुष्य इहलोक और परलोकमें समस्त दु:खोंसे छुटकारा पा जाते हैं
iti kṛtya-samuddeśaḥ kīrtitas te mayānagha | tarante yena durgāṇi paratreha ca mānavāḥ || niṣpāpa yudhiṣṭhira ||
হে নিষ্পাপ! এইদৰে মই তোমাক সংক্ষেপে কৰ্তব্যৰ ৰূপৰেখা ক’লোঁ; ইয়াৰ পালন কৰিলে মানুহে ইহলোক আৰু পৰলোক—উভয়তে—দুৰ্গম দুঃখ অতিক্ৰম কৰে।
