かくして、尊き『マハーバーラタ』の『アヌシャーサナ・パルヴァ』中、ダーナ・ダルマ（布施の法）の部に属する「ピトリ（祖霊）に関する秘義」と題する第百二十五章は終わる。この結語（章末の詞）は、施与と義務とを、祖先の系譜と道徳秩序にまで及ぶ果報を伴う行為として説く一段の教えが完結したことを告げる。

Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon marking the end of a chapter; it highlights that the completed unit belongs to the Dāna-dharma teachings and is titled “The Secret Concerning the Pitṛs,” implying an ethical focus where giving and righteous conduct are linked to obligations toward ancestors and the continuity of moral order.
No new action occurs here; the text formally closes the chapter, identifying its placement (within Anuśāsana Parva, in the Dāna-dharma section) and its title (Pitṛ-rahasya), functioning as an editorial/narrative boundary marker.
