Śrāddha-Kalpa: Pitṛ-Pūjā and Tithi-Phala (श्राद्धकल्पः पितृपूजा च तिथिफलम्)
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत अनुशासनपवके अन्तर्गत दानधर्मपर्वमें गोलोकका वर्णनविषयक तिरासीवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṁ śrīmahābhārate anuśāsanaparvaṇi antargata-dānadharmaparvaṇi golokavarṇana-viṣayakaḥ trayāśītitamo 'dhyāyaḥ samāptaḥ
Ainsi s’achève le quatre-vingt-troisième chapitre de la section Dāna-dharma, au sein de l’Anuśāsana Parva du Śrī Mahābhārata, chapitre consacré à la description de Goloka. Cette formule de clôture marque l’achèvement d’une unité d’enseignement et encadre l’exposé précédent comme une instruction éthique sur le dharma, en particulier sur le mérite et l’orientation spirituelle liés au don et à la conduite juste.

This line functions as a colophon: it frames the preceding material as part of Bhīṣma’s instructional discourse on dharma, specifically within the section on dāna (giving). By marking the chapter’s end and naming its subject (Goloka), it reinforces the ethical idea that righteous conduct and generosity are linked to auspicious spiritual outcomes.
The text is concluding a chapter: it announces that the eighty-third adhyāya—focused on describing Goloka—has been completed within the Dāna-dharma portion of the Anuśāsana Parva of the Mahābhārata.
