Thus ends the one hundred and fifty-second chapter on the greatness of the Brahmins, occurring within the Dāna-dharma section of the Anuśāsana Parva of the Śrī Mahābhārata, in the context of the dialogue between the Wind-god (Vāyu) and Arjuna. The closing formula signals the completion of a didactic unit that frames generosity and right conduct as inseparable from reverence toward learned and disciplined Brahmins.

The colophon frames the chapter’s ethical thrust: within the dharma of giving, honoring and supporting worthy Brahmins (as exemplars of learning, restraint, and ritual-ethical discipline) is presented as a meritorious act that sustains social and spiritual order.
This is a closing statement marking the end of a chapter in the Anuśāsana Parva. It situates the completed chapter within the episode of a discourse between Vāyu and Arjuna, and identifies the chapter’s topic as the glorification of Brahmins.
