Shloka 128
दानशील-समाचारः, सत्कारः, अहिंसा च
Umā–Maheśvara Saṃvāda
इस प्रकार मैंने रहस्यसहित धर्म और अधर्मका वर्णन किया। यह स्वर्गकी कामनावाले मनुष्योंको मृत्युके पश्चात् स्वर्गीय सुखकी प्राप्ति करानेवाला है ।।

Dhaumya dit : « Ainsi ai-je exposé, avec son secret intérieur, le dharma comme l’adharma. Cet enseignement accorde à ceux qui désirent le ciel d’obtenir, après la mort, la félicité céleste. » Ici s’achève, dans le Śrī Mahābhārata, au sein de l’Anuśāsana Parva, dans la section sur le Dharma des Dons, le chapitre du “Secret des Dieux” — le cent vingt-huitième chapitre.
धौग्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
The speaker concludes that he has explained dharma and adharma along with their ‘secret’ (inner rationale). The teaching is presented as a means by which those aspiring for svarga can attain heavenly happiness after death—linking ethical conduct (especially dāna-dharma in this section) with posthumous reward.
This verse functions as a closing colophon: Dhaumya ends his instruction, and the text formally marks the completion of the chapter within Anuśāsana Parva, in the sub-section on the dharma of giving, titled ‘Deva-rahasya’ (the mystery/secret concerning the gods).
