राजपूजाविधानम् / Royal Reception Protocols during Āśvamedha Preparations
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत आश्वमेधिकपरववके अन्तर्गत अनुगीतापर्वरमें अजुनका प्रत्यागगनविषयक सतासीवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṃ śrīmahābhārate āśvamedhika-parvaṇi antar-gataṃ anugītā-parvaṇi arjunasya pratyāgamanaviṣayakaḥ saptāśītitamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
かくして、聖なる『マハーバーラタ』のうち、「アーシュヴァメーディカ・パルヴァ」内の「アヌギーター」章段において、アルジュナの帰還を扱う第八十七章はここに終わる。これは巻末の結語（コロフォン）であり、一つの物語単位の終結を示すとともに、戦後の復興と、荒廃ののち王権をダルマへと立ち返らせるという倫理的枠組みの中に本件を位置づける。

Educational Q&A
This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it emphasizes textual closure and context—placing Arjuna’s return within the Āśvamedhika Parva and the Anugītā section, which broadly frames post-war life as a return to dharma, restraint, and responsible kingship.
The text signals the completion of a chapter focused on Arjuna’s return. It functions as an editorial marker that the relevant adhyāya has ended within the larger structure of the Mahābhārata’s Āśvamedhika Parva.
