iti śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi āpaddharmaparvaṇi trayastriṃśad-adhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ || 1233 ||
Ainsi, dans le Śrī Mahābhārata, au sein du Śānti Parvan—et plus précisément dans la section Āpaddharma Parvan (le dharma en temps de détresse)—s’achève le cent trente-troisième chapitre. Ce colophon final marque la clôture du chapitre où l’enseignement de Bhīṣma à Yudhiṣṭhira continue de cadrer la conduite éthique sous la crise et la contrainte.

Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals the completion of a chapter within Āpaddharma, the Mahābhārata’s ethical discussion of right conduct under adversity, framed through Bhīṣma’s counsel.
The text is closing a chapter: it formally states that the 133rd chapter of the Āpaddharma section within the Śānti Parvan has ended, marking a transition point before the next chapter continues Bhīṣma’s discourse.
