Nārāyaṇa-tejas: Kṛṣṇa’s Vrata, the Fire-Manifestation, and the Sages’ Inquiry (अनुशासन पर्व, अध्याय १२६)
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्या भारत अनुशासनपर्वके अन्तर्गत दानधर्मपर्वमें मैत्रेयकी भभिक्षाविषयक एक सौ इकक््कीसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraḥ śrīmahābhārate anuśāsana-parvaṇi antargate dāna-dharma-parvaṇi maitreya-bhikṣā-viṣayaka eka-śata-eka-viṃśatitamo 'dhyāyaḥ samāptaḥ
かくして、聖なる『マハーバーラタ』の『アヌシャーサナ・パルヴァ』、その「ダーナ・ダルマ(施与の法)」の部において、マイトレーヤが乞食(bhikṣā)を論じた第百二十一章は終わる。この結語(コロフォン)は、乞いと施しを単なる取引ではなく、ダルマに導かれた規律ある行として位置づける一連の教説が完結したことを示す。
मैत्रेय उवाच
The verse is a colophon marking the end of a chapter focused on bhikṣā (alms) within the broader dharma of giving. Its ethical framing implies that alms and charity are to be understood as regulated by dharma—guided by right intention, propriety, and the moral responsibilities of giver and receiver.
Maitreya’s discourse on matters related to alms concludes, and the text formally closes the 121st chapter of the Dāna-dharma section within the Anuśāsana Parva. It is an editorial/narrative closure rather than a new event.
