Translation

This is a colophon and editorial note marking the completion of the Anuśāsana Parva in the Gita Press edition. It does not convey a narrative event or ethical instruction from the Mahābhārata’s story; rather, it records metrical/counting details and verse totals as arranged in different regional recensions (North Indian and South Indian) and in different metrical groupings.
