Thus, in the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the Śānti Parvan—specifically the Āpaddharma section—ends the chapter entitled “The Episode of the Ungrateful (Kṛtaghna),” being the one-hundred-and-seventy-second chapter. This is a colophon marking the close of a teaching narrative on conduct in times of distress and the moral gravity of gratitude versus ingratitude.
