Thus ends the one-hundred-and-eighty-third chapter of the Śānti Parva in the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the section known as the Gokṣa-dharma Parva. This chapter occurs in the context of the dialogue between Bhṛgu and Bharadvāja and is devoted to describing the origin of mental (mind-born) beings. The colophon marks the completion of this unit, situating the teaching within a reflective, ethical inquiry into creation and the nature of beings.
