Shloka 101
ब्रह्मस्वहरण-निषेधः — Prohibition of Appropriating Brahmin Property
Brahmasva
इति श्रीमहा भारते अनुशासनपर्वणि दानधर्मपर्वणि राजन्यचाण्डालसंवादो नामैकोत्तरशततमो< ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate anuśāsanaparvaṇi dānadharmaparvaṇi rājanya-cāṇḍāla-saṃvādo nāma ekottaraśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
Así, en el Śrī Mahābhārata, dentro del Anuśāsana Parva y en la sección sobre el dharma de los dones, concluye el capítulo ciento uno, titulado «El diálogo entre un kṣatriya (rājanya) y un cāṇḍāla». Este colofón señala el cierre de un episodio doctrinal que enmarca la reflexión ética sobre la conducta y la generosidad mediante un intercambio incisivo, a la vez social y moral.

Educational Q&A
This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it signals that the instructional dialogue on dāna-dharma (the ethics of giving) between a Kṣatriya and a Cāṇḍāla has concluded, framing the preceding discussion as authoritative guidance within Bhīṣma’s teachings.
Bhīṣma’s discourse reaches the end of a chapter. The text formally closes Adhyāya 101 of the dāna-dharma section, identifying the completed unit as the “Rājanya–Cāṇḍāla dialogue.”
