Avanti–Narmadā–Puṣkara Tīrtha-Kathana (धौम्यकथितं तीर्थवर्णनम्)
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत वनपर्वके अन्तर्गत तीर्थयात्रापर्वमें धौम्यकी तीर्थयात्राविषयक छियासीवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraḥ śrīmahābhārata-vanaparva-ke antargata tīrthayātrāparva-meṃ dhaumya-kī tīrthayātrā-viṣayakaḥ chiyāsīvāṃ adhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。「かくして、『シュリー・マハーバーラタ』の林住篇（ヴァナ・パルヴァ）に含まれるティールタ巡礼篇（ティールタヤートラー）において、ドゥハウミヤの巡礼を述べた第八十六章は終わる。ここに置かれた結語（コロフォン）は、聖なる旅の叙述の一区切りを告げ、巡礼をダルマにかなう規律ある修行として位置づける—志を清め、艱難の中にあっても倫理の決意を強めるものとして。」

The colophon underscores pilgrimage (tīrthayātrā) as a dharmic discipline: sacred travel is presented as a means of purification and ethical strengthening, and the text’s formal closure highlights the importance of completing vows and practices with order and clarity.
This is a concluding statement marking the end of the chapter that dealt with Dhaumya’s pilgrimage within the Tīrthayātrā Parva of the Vana Parva; it functions as an editorial/narrative closure rather than a new plot event.
