पात्रलक्षण-परिक्षा (Pātra-Lakṣaṇa Parīkṣā) — Criteria for a Worthy Recipient
इति श्रीमहाभारते अनुशासनपर्वणि दानधर्मपर्वणि पृथ्वीवासुदेवसंवादे चतुस्त्रिंशो 5ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate anuśāsanaparvaṇi dānadharmaparvaṇi pṛthvī-vāsudeva-saṃvāde catuḥstriṃśo 'dhyāyaḥ
かくして、聖なる『シュリー・マハーバーラタ』の『アヌシャーサナ・パルヴァ』—とりわけダーナ・ダルマ（布施の法）の部において—大地（プリトヴィー）とヴァースデーヴァの対話として示された第三十四章は終わる。この結語は、慈施の倫理が聖なる対話によって枠づけられる教示の場が閉じられたことを告げる。

Educational Q&A
This line functions as a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it frames the ethical instruction as belonging to the dāna-dharma (the duty and right practice of giving) and situates it within a sacred dialogue, underscoring that charity is treated as a formal, scripturally grounded component of dharma.
The text is closing a chapter: it announces that, within the Anuśāsana Parva’s section on charity, the chapter connected with the conversation between Pṛthvī (Earth) and Vāsudeva has concluded.
