Instruction on the Cessation of Craving
इति श्रीमहाभारते शान्तिपर्वणि मोक्षधर्मपर्वणि गोकपिलीये एकोनसप्तत्यधिकद्वधिशततमो<5 ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi mokṣadharmaparvaṇi gokapilīye ekonasaptatyadhikadvīśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
Así, en el Śrī Mahābhārata, dentro del Śānti Parva y, en particular, de la sección Mokṣa-dharma, concluye el capítulo llamado Gokapilīya, siendo este el capítulo doscientos sesenta y nueve. (Se trata de un colofón que marca el fin del capítulo, no de un verso doctrinal pronunciado.)

Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon that signals the completion of the chapter; it does not itself present a new teaching. Its function is to locate the discourse within Śānti Parva’s Mokṣa-dharma section and to mark the end of the Gokapilīya episode.
The narrative/discourse attributed to the Gokapilīya section has concluded, and the text formally closes the chapter by naming the larger work (Mahābhārata), the parva (Śānti), the subsection (Mokṣa-dharma), and the chapter count (269th).
