Yoga, Nārāyaṇa as Supreme Principle, and the Emanation of Categories
Sāṅkhya-Yoga Outline
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत शान्तिपर्वके अन्तर्गत मोक्षधर्मपर्वमें मनु-ब॒हस्पति-संवादविषयक दो सौ दोवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraḥ śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi antargate mokṣadharmaparvaṇi manu-bṛhaspati-saṃvāda-viṣayaka dviśata-dvitīyo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
So endet das zweihundertzweite Kapitel des Mokṣadharma-Abschnitts innerhalb des Śānti Parva des Śrī Mahābhārata, das den Dialog zwischen Manu und Bṛhaspati behandelt. Dieses abschließende Kolophon kündet vom Abschluss einer Lehr-Einheit und rahmt das Vorangegangene als Wegweisung einer auf Befreiung ausgerichteten Dharma—nicht als Bericht vom Schlachtfeld.
भीष्म उवाच
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it frames the preceding material as Mokṣadharma—dharma oriented toward liberation—and identifies its pedagogical form as a Manu–Bṛhaspati dialogue, emphasizing authoritative instruction on ethical and spiritual aims.
Bhīṣma’s discourse (as presented in the Śānti Parva) reaches a formal chapter boundary: the text announces that the chapter concerning the Manu–Bṛhaspati conversation has concluded, marking a transition point to the next unit of instruction.
