iti śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi mokṣadharmaparvaṇi manubṛhaspati-saṃvāde ekādhika-dviśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
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「モークシャ・ダルマ篇」—における、マヌとブリハスパティ（Bṛhaspati）の対話は終わる。第二百一章。（これは章末の結語であり、新たな教説の偈ではない。）

Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon: it does not add a new teaching, but signals that the preceding instruction—framed as the Manu–Bṛhaspati dialogue within Mokṣa-dharma—has concluded for this chapter.
Bhīṣma’s discourse (as the overarching speaker in Śānti Parva) reaches the end of a chapter presented as a dialogue between Manu and Bṛhaspati; the text formally closes Adhyāya 201.
