かくして『シュリー・マハーバーラタ』の「森住篇」(Vana Parva)、とりわけ「那羅物語」(Nalopākhyāna)において、第六十章は終わる――那羅王の子と娘がクンディナ(Kuṇḍina/Kuṇḍinapura)へ送られる次第を述べた章である。この奥書は一段の結びを告げ、家の務めの回復と、母方の血統と王家の庇護へ帰すことによる幼子の正当な守りを強調している。

Educational Q&A

Even amid suffering and displacement, dharma expresses itself through safeguarding dependents and restoring them to rightful care. The chapter’s closure highlights responsible guardianship and the re-establishment of familial and royal protection as an ethical priority.

This is the chapter-ending colophon for Vana Parva, Nalopākhyāna: it signals that the episode concerning the dispatch of Nala’s two children (son and daughter) toward Kuṇḍinapura has concluded.
