Śuka’s Manifestation from the Araṇi (Āraṇeya-janma) — शुकजन्म (आरणेय-सम्भव)
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्या भारत शान्तिपर्वके अन्तर्गत मोक्षधर्मपर्वमें याज्ञवल्क्य-जनक- संवादविषयक तीन सौ दसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṁ śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi antargate mokṣadharmaparvaṇi yājñavalkya-janaka-saṁvādaviṣayakaḥ trīśatatamo'dhyāyaḥ samāptaḥ
Ainsi s’achève le trois-cent-dixième chapitre de la section Mokṣadharma, au sein du Śānti Parva du grand Mahābhārata, consacré au dialogue entre Yājñavalkya et le roi Janaka. Ce colophon de clôture marque l’achèvement d’un enseignement axé sur le dharma de la délivrance et sur une royauté réfléchie.

Educational Q&A
This verse is a colophon marking the end of a chapter; it frames the preceding material as Mokṣadharma—dharma oriented toward liberation—presented through the instructive dialogue of sage Yājñavalkya and King Janaka, a model of reflective, ethically grounded rulership.
The text formally closes the chapter, identifying its placement (Śānti Parva → Mokṣadharma section) and its subject (the Yājñavalkya–Janaka dialogue). It functions as an editorial/narrative boundary rather than a spoken doctrinal verse.
