अबुद्धिपूर्वकपापविमोचनप्रश्नः — Janamejaya’s Unintended Transgression and the Indrota Rebuke
इति श्रीमहाभारते शान्तिपर्वणि आपद्धर्मपर्वणि कपोतं प्रति कपोतीवाक्ये पडञ्चचचत्वारिंशदाधिकशततमो< ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi āpaddharmaparvaṇi kapotaṃ prati kapotīvākye pañcacatvāriṃśad-adhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ | itiprakāraṃ śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvake antargata āpaddharmaparvaṇi kapotarake prati kapotarīkā-vākya-viṣayaka ekaśata-pañcacatvāriṃśattamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ |
ビーシュマは言った。「かくして『シュリー・マハーバーラタ』の『シャーンティ・パルヴァ』—とりわけ窮迫時のダルマを説く『アーパッドダルマ・パルヴァ』—において、雌鳩が雄鳩に語りかけた言葉を主題とする第百四十五章は、ここに終わる。」この奥書は挿話の終結を告げ、鳩の妻の諭しを、逆境における正しい行いの倫理的教訓として位置づける。

Educational Q&A
The verse is a colophon that frames the preceding pigeon-wife’s counsel as an Āpaddharma lesson—ethical guidance meant for situations of distress—signaling that the narrative is presented as moral instruction rather than mere story.
Bhīṣma concludes the chapter by formally announcing the end of the section in which the female pigeon (kapotī) addresses the male pigeon (kapota). It functions as the editorial closure of that episode within the Śānti Parva’s Āpaddharma material.
