Śatarudrīya-prabhāva and Rudra’s Supremacy (शतरुद्रीयप्रभावः)
इति श्रीमहाभारते अनुशासनपर्वणि दानधर्मपर्वणि उमामहेश्वरसंवादो नाम चत्वारिंशदिधिकशततमो< ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate anuśāsanaparvaṇi dānadharmaparvaṇi umāmaheśvarasaṃvādo nāma catvāriṃśad-adhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
Ainsi, dans le Śrī Mahābhārata, au sein de l’Anuśāsana Parva, dans la section Dāna-dharma, s’achève le cent quarantième chapitre, intitulé « Le dialogue d’Umā et de Maheśvara ». (Il s’agit d’un colophon marquant la fin du chapitre, et non d’un nouveau verset doctrinal.)

Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon: it primarily signals the completion of a chapter within the Mahābhārata’s Anuśāsana Parva, specifically in the dāna-dharma section, and identifies the chapter’s theme as the dialogue between Umā and Maheśvara.
Bhīṣma’s discourse to Yudhiṣṭhira has reached the end of a chapter; the text formally closes the chapter titled “Umā–Maheśvara Dialogue” within the broader instructional material on the ethics and duties of giving.
