अध्याय ९० — लोमशोपदेशः तथा तीर्थयात्रानिश्चयः
Lomaśa’s Counsel and the Resolve for Pilgrimage
इति श्रीमहा भारते वनपर्वणि तीर्थयात्रापर्वणि धौम्यतीर्थयात्रायां नवतितमो< ध्याय:,इस प्रकार श्रीमह्ा भारत वनपवकि अन्तर्गत तीथ्यात्रापर्वमें धौम्यतीर्थयात्राविषयक नब्बेवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti śrīmahābhārate vanaparvaṇi tīrthayātrāparvaṇi dhaumyatīrthayātrāyāṃ navatitamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
Así, en el venerable Mahābhārata, dentro del Vana Parva—en particular del Tīrtha-yātrā Parva—llega a su término el capítulo nonagésimo, relativo a la peregrinación del sabio Dhaumya a los tīrtha, los vados sagrados. Este colofón señala la conclusión de esta unidad y enmarca la peregrinación como una práctica dhármica de purificación, memoria y recta conducta, mediante el trato con los lugares santos y sus tradiciones.
धौम्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not add new instruction but signals that pilgrimage (tīrtha-yātrā) is treated as a dharmic discipline: honoring sacred places and inherited narratives as means of moral orientation, purification, and continuity of tradition.
The text is closing Adhyāya 90 of the Vana Parva’s Tīrtha-yātrā Parva, identifying the chapter’s topic as Dhaumya’s pilgrimage account and formally marking the end of that chapter in the Gītā Press-style colophon tradition.
