मार्कण्डेय उवाच
The colophon marks the completion of a didactic episode centered on pativratā-dharma—steadfast devotion and ethical conduct—presented as a moral exemplar within the broader framework of dharma.
No new action occurs here; it is a formal closing statement indicating that the 206th chapter of the Vana Parva, in the Markandeya-related sub-section, and focused on the pativratā narrative, has concluded.
