भीष्म उवाच
The chapter’s stated focus is the māhātmya (greatness) of Nārāyaṇa within Mokṣadharma, reinforcing devotion and contemplation of the supreme as a liberation-oriented ethical and spiritual anchor.
This line functions as a concluding colophon: it announces that the chapter on describing Nārāyaṇa’s greatness—within Mokṣadharma of the Śānti Parva—has been completed, marking the end of that unit of discourse attributed to Bhīṣma.
