इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत आदिपरव॑के अन्तर्गत वैवाहिकपर्वमें वेदव्यायके आगमनसे सम्बन्ध रखनेवाला एक सौ चौरानबेवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraḥ śrīmahābhārata ādiparva-ke antargata vaivāhikaparva-meṃ vedavyāsa-ke āgamana-se sambandha rakhanevālā ekaśata caturānnavetām adhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ huā
Thus concludes the one hundred and ninety-fourth chapter of the Ādi Parva of the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the Vaivāhika Parva, dealing with the episode connected to the arrival of Vedavyāsa. The narration marks a formal closure to this section, signaling a transition in the unfolding of events and the continuity of sacred history.
