Translation

Thus, in the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the Śānti Parva—specifically the Mokṣa-dharma section—ends the dialogue between Yājñavalkya and King Janaka, concluding the three-hundred-and-fifteenth chapter. This colophon marks the close of a teaching episode on liberation-oriented dharma, framed as an instructive exchange between a sage and a royal seeker.
