Nala’s Reception and Reconciliation
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत वनपर्वके अन्तर्गत नलोपाख्यानपर्वमें नलका अपनी पुत्री और पुत्रके देखनेसे सम्बन्ध रखनेवाला पचद्वत्तरवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
Iti prakāraṁ Śrīmahābhārate Vanaparvake antargata Nalopākhyānaparvame Naḷakā (Naḷasya) svaputrī-putrake darśanena sambandhaṁ rakhanevālā pañcādvattaravāṁ adhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ huā.
Thus ends the seventy-fifth chapter of the Nalopākhyāna section within the Vana Parva of the Śrī Mahābhārata, a chapter concerned with King Nala’s reunion and the significance of seeing his children.
बृहृदश्चव उवाच
Even after severe downfall and separation, dharmic life is sustained by rightful relationships—especially family bonds—which can become a means of emotional recovery and moral re-centering.
This is a colophon-style closing line stating that the seventy-fifth chapter of the Nalopākhyāna section within the Vana Parva has concluded, specifically noting that the chapter concerns Nala’s connection with seeing his daughter and son.
