Yayāti’s Abdication and Pūru’s Coronation (ययाति-पूोरु-राज्याभिषेकः)
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत आदिपर्वके अन्तर्गत सम्भवपर्वमें ययात्युपाख्यानविषयक उन्यासीवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
Iti prakāraṁ Śrīmahābhārata-Ādiparva-ke antargataṁ Sambhava-parva-meṁ Yayāty-upākhyāna-viṣayaka unyāsīvāṁ adhyāya pūrā huā.
Ainsi s’achève le soixante-dix-neuvième chapitre, consacré à l’épisode du roi Yayāti, au sein du Sambhava Parva de l’Ādi Parva du Śrī Mahābhārata. Ce colophon marque la clôture d’une unité de récit qui encadre la lignée, les conséquences et la causalité morale—comment les choix et les désirs façonnent le destin de génération en génération.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse itself teaches through structure: it marks the completion of the Yayāti episode, reminding readers that narratives in the Mahābhārata are moral case-studies—desire and choice have consequences that extend through lineage, and closure invites reflection on dharma and restraint.
This is an editorial closing line indicating that the chapter focused on the Yayāti episode has ended within the Sambhava Parva of the Ādi Parva. It does not advance dialogue but signals the end of that narrative unit.
