Gopradāna-Māhātmya: Inquiry into Goloka
इति श्रीमहाभारते अनुशासनपर्वणि दानधर्मपर्वणि यमब्राह्मणसंवादे अष्टषष्टितमो< ध्याय:,इस प्रकार श्रीमह्ाभारत अनुशासनपर्वके अन्तर्गत दानधर्मपर्वमें यम और ब्राह्मणका संवादविषयक अड़सठवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti śrīmahābhārate anuśāsanaparvaṇi dānadharmaparvaṇi yamabrāhmaṇasaṃvāde aṣṭaṣaṣṭitamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
So endet im Śrī Mahābhārata, innerhalb der Anuśāsana-Parva—genauer im Abschnitt Dāna-dharma—das achtundsechzigste Kapitel, das den Dialog zwischen Yama und einem Brāhmaṇa darlegt. Der Kolophon vermerkt den Abschluss dieser Lehrsequenz und rahmt das Vorangegangene als ethische Unterweisung über Wohltätigkeit und rechtschaffenes Handeln.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse itself teaches by framing the preceding material as authoritative instruction on dāna-dharma (the ethics of giving) delivered through a moral dialogue involving Yama, emphasizing that charity is to be understood within the wider order of dharma and justice.
The chapter concludes: the text announces that the sixty-eighth adhyāya—centered on the conversation between Yama and a Brāhmaṇa within the dāna-dharma section of the Anuśāsana Parva—has ended.
