Ādi Parva, Adhyāya 68 — Sarvadamana’s Childhood and Śakuntalā’s Claim at Court
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत आदिपव॑ीके अन्तर्गत सम्भवपर्वमें अंशावतरणयमाप्तिविषयक सड़सठवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
Iti prakāraḥ Śrīmahābhārata Ādiparvaṇi antar-gata Sambhavaparvaṇi aṁśāvataraṇa-yamāpti-viṣayakaḥ saptāṣaṣṭitamaḥ adhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ.
Ainsi s’achève le soixante-septième chapitre du Sambhava Parva, inclus dans l’Ādi Parva du Śrī Mahābhārata, traitant de la descente des parts divines (parts incarnées) et de l’achèvement du récit relatif à Yama. Ce colophon de clôture marque la fin d’un ensemble thématique et présente le récit comme un déploiement voulu de l’ordre cosmique et de la causalité morale.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse primarily teaches how the epic frames events as ordered and purposeful: divine portions descend into the world and narrative episodes reach completion, underscoring moral causality and cosmic governance rather than random history.
The speaker marks the formal end of the sixty-seventh chapter in the Sambhava Parva within the Ādi Parva, indicating that the section concerning aṁśāvataraṇa (descent of portions) and the completion of the Yama-related account has concluded.
