Ainsi, dans le Śrī Mahābhārata, au sein de l’Anuśāsana Parva, dans la section consacrée au dharma du don (dāna-dharma), s’achève le soixante-quinzième chapitre. Cette formule de clôture marque l’achèvement du chapitre où l’enseignement de Bhīṣma à Yudhiṣṭhira continue de façonner la vie éthique par la discipline de la générosité et de la conduite juste.
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it signals the completion of a chapter situated in the Dāna-dharma (ethics of giving) discourse, reinforcing that Bhīṣma’s instruction is organized as a sustained ethical teaching on righteous generosity within dharma.
The text formally closes the seventy-fifth chapter of the Dāna-dharma section within the Anuśāsana Parva. It functions as an editorial/narrative marker indicating that the current unit of Bhīṣma’s instruction has ended and the next chapter will begin thereafter.
