iti śrīmahābhārate anuśāsanaparvaṇi dānadharmaparvaṇi indramataḍrasaṃvāde ekonatriṃśo 'dhyāyaḥ
આ રીતે શ્રીમહાભારતના અનુશાસનપર્વના દાનધર્મપર્વમાં ઇન્દ્ર–મતડ્રસ સંવાદ સમાપ્ત થયો; ઓગણત્રીસમો અધ્યાય પૂર્ણ થયો.

Educational Q&A
The verse is a colophon marking the close of a teaching unit: it frames the preceding instruction as part of dāna-dharma (the ethical discipline of giving) delivered through Indra’s dialogue, underscoring charity as a regulated duty within dharma rather than mere impulse.
The text signals the end of the chapter and the conclusion of the Indra–Mataḍrasa conversation within the Anuśāsana Parva’s dāna-dharma section, preparing the reader to move to the next chapter/topic.
