This line functions as a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals the completion of a chapter within the Gokṣadharma section of Śānti Parva, framing the preceding material as an ethical-didactic upākhyāna (illustrative tale) connected with dharma.
The narrator marks the formal end of the chapter: the Mahābhārata’s Śānti Parva continues, and this particular adhyāya—focused on the Ujjhavṛttikā episode within Gokṣadharma Parva—is declared complete.
