Thus, in the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the Śānti Parvan—specifically in the section on Dharma in times of distress (Āpaddharma Parvan)—the one-hundred-and-thirty-third chapter concludes. This closing colophon marks the completion of the chapter in which Bhīṣma’s instruction to Yudhiṣṭhira continues to frame ethical conduct under crisis and constraint.
