Así, en el Śrī Mahābhārata, dentro del Anuśāsana Parva, en la sección sobre el dharma del dar (dāna-dharma), llega a su fin el capítulo septuagésimo quinto. Esta fórmula de cierre señala la conclusión del capítulo en el que la instrucción de Bhīṣma a Yudhiṣṭhira sigue enmarcando la vida ética mediante la disciplina de la generosidad y la conducta recta.

This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it signals the completion of a chapter situated in the Dāna-dharma (ethics of giving) discourse, reinforcing that Bhīṣma’s instruction is organized as a sustained ethical teaching on righteous generosity within dharma.
The text formally closes the seventy-fifth chapter of the Dāna-dharma section within the Anuśāsana Parva. It functions as an editorial/narrative marker indicating that the current unit of Bhīṣma’s instruction has ended and the next chapter will begin thereafter.
