Ādi Parva, Adhyāya 68 — Sarvadamana’s Childhood and Śakuntalā’s Claim at Court
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत आदिपव॑ीके अन्तर्गत सम्भवपर्वमें अंशावतरणयमाप्तिविषयक सड़सठवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
Iti prakāraḥ Śrīmahābhārata Ādiparvaṇi antar-gata Sambhavaparvaṇi aṁśāvataraṇa-yamāpti-viṣayakaḥ saptāṣaṣṭitamaḥ adhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ.
Así concluye el capítulo sexagésimo séptimo del Sambhava Parva, contenido en el Ādi Parva del Śrī Mahābhārata, relativo al descenso de porciones divinas (partes encarnadas) y a la culminación del relato concerniente a Yama. Este colofón final señala el cierre de una unidad temática y enmarca la narración como un despliegue deliberado del orden cósmico y de la causalidad moral.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
As a colophon, the verse primarily teaches how the epic frames events as ordered and purposeful: divine portions descend into the world and narrative episodes reach completion, underscoring moral causality and cosmic governance rather than random history.
The speaker marks the formal end of the sixty-seventh chapter in the Sambhava Parva within the Ādi Parva, indicating that the section concerning aṁśāvataraṇa (descent of portions) and the completion of the Yama-related account has concluded.
