Ainsi s’achève le quatre-vingtième chapitre, intitulé « La section du don des vaches », au sein de la partie « Don et Dharma » de l’Anuśāsana Parva du Mahābhārata sacré. Cette formule de clôture présente l’enseignement comme un ensemble achevé d’instructions sur le don juste selon le dharma, et tout particulièrement sur le mérite, lourd d’exigence morale, du don de vaches.
