Adhyāya 325: Nārada in Śvetadvīpa—Stotra to the Nirguṇa Mahātman
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्ााभारत शान्तिपर्वके अन्तर्गत मोक्षधर्मपर्वमें शुकदेवकी उत्पत्तिविषयक तीन सौ चौबीसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṁ śrīmahābhārata-śānti-parva-ke antargata mokṣa-dharma-parva-me śukadeva-kī utpatti-viṣayaka trī-śata catur-viṁśat-tamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
Ainsi s’achève le trois-cent-vingt-quatrième chapitre, concernant la naissance de Śukadeva, au sein de la section Mokṣadharma du Śānti Parva du Śrī Mahābhārata. Ce colophon de clôture marque l’achèvement d’une unité d’enseignement tournée vers la délivrance (mokṣa) et le dharma qui y conduit.
भीष्म उवाच
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals the completion of a chapter in the Mokṣadharma section, whose broader aim is to frame dharma in relation to liberation (mokṣa), often emphasizing renunciation, self-knowledge, and detachment.
The text is closing the chapter that dealt with the account of Śukadeva’s origin/birth. It formally marks the end of that adhyāya within the Śānti Parva’s Mokṣadharma unit.
