Devanagari script

इस प्रकार श्रीमह्या भारत वनपवकि अन्तर्गत मार्कण्डेयसमास्यापर्वमें काम्यकवनगमनविषयक एक सौ बयासीवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ

Transliteration

iti prakāraṁ śrīmahābhārate vanaparvaṇi antargata-mārkaṇḍeya-samāsyāparvaṇi kāmyakavana-gamana-viṣayaka ekaśata-dvāśītitamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ

Translation

Thus ends the one hundred and eighty-second chapter of the Vana Parva in the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the Mārkaṇḍeya-samāsya Parva, concerning the journey to the Kāmyaka forest. This closing colophon marks the completion of a narrative unit and a turning point in the Pāṇḍavas’ forest exile, setting their movement within the larger moral arc of endurance, restraint, and dharma amid adversity.
