इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत अनुशासनपर्वके अन्तर्गत दानधर्मपर्वमें मांसभक्षणका निषेधविषयक एक सौ पंद्रहवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraḥ śrīmahābhārate anuśāsana-parvaṇi antargata-dāna-dharma-parvaṇi māṁsa-bhakṣaṇa-niṣedha-viṣayaka eka-śata-paṅca-daśattamaḥ adhyāyaḥ samāptaḥ
Ainsi s’achève le cent quinzième chapitre de l’Anuśāsana Parva du Śrī Mahābhārata, dans la section consacrée au dharma du don, traitant de l’interdiction de consommer la chair. Le récit clôt cet ensemble en présentant l’abstention de viande comme une retenue éthique conforme au dharma.

Educational Q&A
The chapter’s stated theme is the niṣedha (prohibition) of māṁsa-bhakṣaṇa (meat-eating), presenting abstention as an ethical discipline consistent with dharma, especially within a didactic context on right conduct.
This line functions as a colophon-like closing statement: it announces that the 115th chapter—within the Anuśāsana Parva’s Dāna-dharma section and focused on prohibiting meat-eating—has been completed.
