Ainsi, dans le Śrī Mahābhārata, au sein de l’Ādi Parva et plus précisément du Sambhava Parva, s’achève le quatre-vingt-dixième chapitre, concernant l’épisode d’Uttarayāyāta. (Il s’agit d’un colophon marquant la fin du chapitre, et non d’un vers de la narration.)

Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon, not a didactic verse: it teaches how the Mahābhārata is organized—by parva, sub-parva, and chapter—helping readers locate and authenticate the textual unit that has just ended.
No new narrative action occurs here. The text simply signals that the chapter dealing with the Uttarayāyāta episode has concluded within the Sambhava Parva of the Ādi Parva.
