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」（Śānti Parva）中、「アーパッドダルマ」（Āpaddharma）章に属し、貪欲（lobha）の本性とその働きを論じた第百六十三章は終わる。この奥書は、危急の時にこそ貪欲が判断を歪め、ダルマを損なうことを説いたビーシュマの講説が、ここに完結したことを告げる。

Educational Q&A
The chapter’s framing theme is lobha (greed): it is treated as a powerful inner fault that can override discernment and lead one away from dharma. In the Āpaddharma context, the implied lesson is that even under pressure or scarcity, one must recognize greed’s disguises and restrain it so that necessary action does not become unethical excess.
This line is a colophon marking the end of a chapter in the Śānti Parva’s Āpaddharma section. It identifies the work (Mahābhārata), the larger book (Śānti Parva), the subsection (Āpaddharma), and the chapter’s topic (analysis of greed), indicating the completion of Bhīṣma’s instructional discourse.
