Iti prakāraṃ Śrīmahābhārate Śāntiparvake antargate Mokṣadharmaparvaṇi Bhṛgu-Bharadvājayoḥ saṃvādasya prasaṅge jīvasya svarūpanirūpaṇaviṣayaka ekaśatasaptāśītamo ’dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ.
So endet das hundertundsiebenundachtzigste Kapitel des Mokṣadharma-Abschnitts innerhalb des Śānti Parva des Śrī Mahābhārata, im Zusammenhang des Dialogs zwischen Bhṛgu und Bharadvāja, das die wahre Natur des individuellen Selbst (jīva) darlegt.

Educational Q&A
The chapter’s stated focus is the clarification of the jīva’s true nature (svarūpa)—a Mokṣadharma theme that frames liberation as grounded in right understanding of the self rather than merely external action.
This line functions as a concluding colophon: it marks the completion of a chapter in the Mokṣadharma portion of Śānti Parva, situating the teaching within the ongoing dialogue between the sages Bhṛgu and Bharadvāja.
