Vītahavya’s Attainment of Brāhmaṇya (Vītahavya–Vipratva) | वीतहव्यस्य ब्राह्मण्यप्राप्तिः
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत अनुशासनपर्वके अन्तर्गत दानधर्मपर्वमें इन्द्र और मतंगका संवादविषयक सत्ताईसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṁ śrīmahābhārate anuśāsana-parvaṇi antargata-dāna-dharma-parvaṇi indra-mataṅga-saṁvāda-viṣayakaḥ saptaviṁśatitamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
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』中、「施（ダーナ）の法」の章に属し、インドラとマタンガの対話を扱う第二十七章は終わる。この結語は、布施の倫理と真の功徳を量る基準を説く教誨の一段が完結したことを告げるものである。

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not add new doctrine but marks the completion of a teaching unit on dāna-dharma. It frames the preceding Indra–Mataṅga discourse as an ethical instruction on giving—implying that charity is evaluated by dharma (right intention, proper recipient, and righteous means), not merely by outward display.
Bhīṣma concludes the chapter by formally stating that the twenty-seventh adhyāya—centered on the dialogue between Indra and Mataṅga within the Dāna-dharma section of the Anuśāsana Parva—has ended. This is a standard epic closing formula indicating a transition to the next unit of instruction.
