Devanagari script

Transliteration

iti śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi āpaddharmaparvaṇi catuḥstriṁśayadadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ || 134 ||

Translation

Thus, in the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the Śānti Parva—specifically in the section on dharma in times of distress (Āpaddharma Parva)—the one hundred and thirty-fourth chapter concludes. This is a colophon marking the end of the chapter rather than a doctrinal verse, situating the preceding instruction within the ethical framework of conduct under crisis.
