Bhīṣma said: “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-forty-fifth chapter, concerning the speech of the female pigeon addressed to the pigeon, comes to an end.” This colophon marks the close of the episode, framing the pigeon-wife’s counsel as an ethical teaching on right conduct under adversity.
