इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत शान्तिपर्वके अन्तर्गत आपद्धर्मपर्वमें राजर्षियोंका चरित्र नामक एक सौ बत्तीसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṁ śrīmahābhārata-śāntiparva-ke antargata āpaddharmaparva-meṁ rājarṣīṇāṁ caritra nāma eka-śata-battiśvāṁ adhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ huā
Ainsi s’achève le cent trente-deuxième chapitre, intitulé «La conduite des sages royaux», au sein de la section Āpaddharma du Śānti Parva du Śrī Mahābhārata. Ce colophon de clôture marque l’achèvement d’un ensemble d’instructions sur le dharma en temps de crise, encadré par des récits exemplaires de rois-sages.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the line itself does not add new instruction; it marks the completion of a chapter focused on āpaddharma—how rulers and the righteous should uphold dharma under distress—illustrated through the exemplary conduct (caritra) of rājarṣis.
The text is closing a chapter within the Śānti Parva’s Āpaddharma section, indicating that the chapter titled “Rājarṣīṇāṁ Caritra” has ended; it functions as an editorial/narrative boundary rather than spoken dialogue.
