Bhishma concluye: “Así, en el sagrado Mahabharata, dentro del Anushasana Parva—en particular, en la sección sobre el dharma del dar—termina el capítulo trigésimo quinto, relativo a la alabanza de los brahmanes.” Esta fórmula de cierre enmarca lo anterior como instrucción ética: la generosidad (dāna) debe regirse por el dharma, y la reverencia hacia los brahmanes eruditos y disciplinados se presenta como pilar del orden social y espiritual.

As a chapter-ending colophon, the verse itself does not add new instruction; it signals that the chapter’s ethical focus is dāna-dharma (right giving) and the honoring of Brahmins as custodians of learning, ritual, and moral discipline—an ideal presented as sustaining dharma in society.
Bhishma is concluding a didactic unit: the text formally marks the end of the thirty-fifth chapter within Anushasana Parva, identifying its subject as the praise of Brahmins in the broader discussion on the dharma of charity.
