Gautama–Śakra Saṃvāda: Karma, Loka-bheda, and the Restoration of the Elephant
इति श्रीमहाभारते अनुशासनपर्वणि दानधर्मपर्वणि हस्तिकूटो नाम दयथधिकशततमो<्ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate anuśāsanaparvaṇi dānadharmaparvaṇi hastikūṭo nāma adhyāyaḥ pañcādhikaśatatamaḥ
Así concluye, en el Śrī Mahābhārata, dentro del Anuśāsana Parva, en la sección sobre el dharma de la dádiva, el capítulo centésimo quinto llamado «Hastikūṭa».
गौतम उवाच
This line is a colophon marking the close of a chapter within the section on dāna-dharma (the ethics of giving). Its function is to frame the preceding discourse as authoritative instruction on charitable duty.
The narrative pauses for a formal closing formula: it identifies the larger work (Mahābhārata), the parva (Anuśāsana), the sub-section (Dāna-dharma), and the chapter title (Hastikūṭa), stating that the 105th chapter has concluded.
