iti prakāraḥ śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi antargate mokṣadharmaparvaṇi manu-bṛhaspati-saṃvāda-viṣayaka dviśata-dvitīyo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
Ainsi s’achève le deux-cent-deuxième chapitre de la section Mokṣadharma, au sein du Śānti Parva du Śrī Mahābhārata, portant sur le dialogue entre Manu et Bṛhaspati. Ce colophon de clôture marque l’achèvement d’un ensemble d’enseignement, présentant l’échange précédent comme une guidance du dharma tournée vers la délivrance, plutôt que comme un récit d’actions guerrières.

Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it frames the preceding material as Mokṣadharma—dharma oriented toward liberation—and identifies its pedagogical form as a Manu–Bṛhaspati dialogue, emphasizing authoritative instruction on ethical and spiritual aims.
Bhīṣma’s discourse (as presented in the Śānti Parva) reaches a formal chapter boundary: the text announces that the chapter concerning the Manu–Bṛhaspati conversation has concluded, marking a transition point to the next unit of instruction.
