Ainsi s’achève le trente-quatrième chapitre de la section Dāna-dharma, au sein de l’Anuśāsana Parva du Mahābhārata sacré, portant sur le dialogue entre la Terre et le dieu du Vent. Il s’agit du colophon officiel marquant l’achèvement de l’enseignement sur le don juste et l’ordre moral.

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals the completion of a chapter in the Dāna-dharma (charity) teachings, framing the preceding discourse as part of Bhīṣma’s ethical instruction on righteous giving and moral order.
Bhīṣma’s discourse reaches a formal close for this unit: the text announces that the thirty-fourth chapter—centered on the dialogue between Pṛthivī (Earth) and Vāyu (Wind)—has ended within the Anuśāsana Parva’s Dāna-dharma section.
