Así, en el Śrī Mahābhārata, dentro del Udyoga Parva—en particular, en la sección del embajador del Señor—concluye el capítulo octogésimo séptimo, centrado en el consejo de Vidura. El colofón señala el cierre de su instrucción, cargada de dharma: palabra recta y prudente arte de gobierno, destinada a apartar el conflicto.
विदुर उवाच
Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals that Vidura’s counsel has concluded. In context, Vidura’s speech embodies dharma-based ethical instruction and prudent political advice aimed at restraining adharma and preventing catastrophic war.
The text is closing a chapter: it formally notes that, within the Udyoga Parva and the Bhagavad-yāna (the Lord’s embassy) section, the chapter focused on Vidura’s words has ended.
