Tapas-bala and karmic ascent across yoni
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्ा भारत अनुशासनपर्वके अन्तर्गत दानधर्मपर्वमें मांसके परित्यागका उपदेशविषयक एक सौ चौदहवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ

Ainsi s’achève le cent quatorzième chapitre de la section Dāna-dharma, au sein de l’Anuśāsana Parva du grand Mahābhārata : chapitre consacré à l’enseignement du renoncement à la viande, qui clôt l’exhortation éthique sur le don et la juste conduite, en soulignant la retenue et la non-nuisance (ahiṃsā).

Educational Q&A
The chapter’s stated subject is māṃsa-parityāga—renouncing meat—presented as an ethical instruction within the broader framework of dāna-dharma (the dharma of giving and right conduct), aligning charity with restraint and non-harm.
This line functions as a colophon: it formally closes the chapter, identifying its placement (within Anuśāsana Parva, inside the Dāna-dharma section) and summarizing its topic (instruction on giving up meat).
