Kīṭopākhyāna: Prajā-pālana as Kṣatra-vrata and the Attainment of Brāhmaṇya
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत अनुशासनपर्वके अन्तर्गत दानधर्मपर्वमें मांसभक्षणका निषेधविषयक एक सौ पंद्रहवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraḥ śrīmahābhārate anuśāsana-parvaṇi antargata-dāna-dharma-parvaṇi māṁsa-bhakṣaṇa-niṣedha-viṣayaka eka-śata-paṅca-daśattamaḥ adhyāyaḥ samāptaḥ
So endet das hundertfünfzehnte Kapitel des Anuśāsana Parva im Śrī Mahābhārata, innerhalb des Abschnitts über das Dharma des Schenkens, das das Verbot des Fleischverzehrs behandelt. Die Erzählung schließt diese Einheit, indem sie den Verzicht auf Fleisch als ethische Selbstzucht im Einklang mit dem Dharma rahmt.

Educational Q&A
The chapter’s stated theme is the niṣedha (prohibition) of māṁsa-bhakṣaṇa (meat-eating), presenting abstention as an ethical discipline consistent with dharma, especially within a didactic context on right conduct.
This line functions as a colophon-like closing statement: it announces that the 115th chapter—within the Anuśāsana Parva’s Dāna-dharma section and focused on prohibiting meat-eating—has been completed.
