Ainsi s’achève le trois-cent-soixante-troisième chapitre du Śānti Parva du Śrī Mahābhārata, dans la section dite Gokṣa-dharma Parva, portant sur l’épisode narratif (upākhyāna) d’Ujjhavṛttikā. Ce colophon marque l’achèvement de cette unité et signale une transition dans le fil didactique des enseignements sur le dharma du Śānti Parva.

Educational Q&A
This line functions as a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: its purpose is to mark the completion of a chapter and to situate it within the Śānti Parva’s dharma-oriented instruction, specifically the Ujjhavṛttikā illustrative tale within the Gokṣadharma section.
The text signals closure: it announces that the chapter dealing with the Ujjhavṛttikā upākhyāna has concluded within the Śānti Parva, preparing the reader for the next chapter or thematic unit.
