Gaya’s Seven Aśvamedhas, Payoṣṇī Snāna, and the Śaryāti Sacrifice Locale
Lomaśa–Yudhiṣṭhira Dialogue
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत वनपर्वके अन्तर्गत तीर्थयात्रापर्वमें लोमशती थयात्राप्रसंगमें यादवगमनविषयक एक सौ बीसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṁ śrīmahābhārata-vanaparvaṇi antargataṁ tīrthayātrāparvaṇi lomaśatīrthayātrāprasaṅge yādavagamanaviṣayaka ekaśataviṁśatitamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
Thus ends the one hundred and twenty-first chapter of the Vana Parva of the Śrī Mahābhārata, within the Tīrtha-yātrā section, in the context of Lomasa’s narration of the pilgrimage—specifically concerning the departure/journey of the Yādavas. This is a colophon marking the completion of the chapter rather than a spoken verse, situating the narrative within the ethical frame of pilgrimage, sacred travel, and the remembrance of exemplary deeds.
