かくして『シュリー・マハーバーラタ』「シャーンティ・パルヴァ」、とりわけ「モークシャ・ダルマ」部において、第273章「四つの問い（とその答え）」は終結する。この章末の記載は、解脱へ向かうダルマについてのビーシュマの教示として構成された一連の説話が完了したことを告げる。

Educational Q&A
This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it marks the completion of a Mokṣa-dharma teaching unit titled “Four Questions (and their Answers),” situating the instruction within Bhīṣma’s broader guidance on dharma oriented toward liberation.
The text formally closes the chapter: the narrator/editorial voice indicates that, within the Śānti Parva’s Mokṣa-dharma section, the 273rd chapter named “Catuḥpraśnika” has ended—signaling a transition to the next unit of Bhīṣma’s discourse.
