iti prakāraṃ śrīmahābhārate āśvamedhika-parvaṇi antargate anugītā-parvaṇi śrīkṛṣṇa-vyāsayoḥ yudhiṣṭhiraṃ yajñaṃ kartuṃ ājñā-viṣayaka ekasaptatitamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
Ainsi s’achève le soixante et onzième chapitre de la section Anugītā, incluse dans l’Aśvamedhika Parva du Śrī Mahābhārata, où Śrī Kṛṣṇa et Vyāsa instruisent Yudhiṣṭhira par une injonction d’autorité à entreprendre un rite sacrificiel. La formule de clôture présente l’épisode comme un passage du conseil à l’acte, et souligne le devoir éthique du roi de rétablir l’ordre par un rituel dûment sanctionné.

That royal action should proceed under dharmic authority: Yudhiṣṭhira is directed by Kṛṣṇa and Vyāsa to undertake yajña, presenting sacrifice as a sanctioned means to re-establish order, legitimacy, and ethical governance after upheaval.
This is a concluding colophon marking the end of the seventy-first chapter of the Anugītā section within the Āśvamedhika Parva, summarizing that Kṛṣṇa and Vyāsa have issued an injunction to Yudhiṣṭhira to perform a yajña.
