The Origin of Gold and the Merit of Gifting
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत अनुशासनपर्वके अन्तर्गत दानधर्मपर्वमें गोदानविषयक इक्यासीवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraḥ śrīmahābhārate anuśāsana-parvaṇi antargate dāna-dharma-parvaṇi go-dāna-viṣayaka ekāśītitamo 'dhyāyaḥ samāptaḥ
Ainsi s’achève le quatre-vingt-unième chapitre, relatif au don de vaches (go-dāna), dans la section sur le dharma de la charité, contenue dans l’Anuśāsana Parva du Mahābhārata sacré. La formule de clôture souligne l’encadrement éthique du propos : la charité—et tout particulièrement le go-dāna—y est présentée comme un élément structuré de l’enseignement du dharma.

Educational Q&A
This line functions as a colophon marking the end of a chapter devoted to go-dāna within dāna-dharma. Its ethical emphasis is that charity is a formal, teachable component of dharma, and the tradition highlights specific gifts (like cows) as exemplary forms of righteous giving.
The speaker’s discourse reaches a formal conclusion: the text announces that the eighty-first chapter on cow-gifting, situated within the charity-dharma section of the Anuśāsana Parva, has been completed.
