भीष्म उवाच
As a colophon, the verse signals that the preceding discourse belongs to dāna-dharma (the ethics of giving) and frames the chapter as a focused teaching on the religious and ethical significance of the cow, typically connected with merit, charity, and righteous conduct.
This is the closing formula of the chapter: it marks the end of Anuśāsana Parva, Adhyāya 85, titled “Śrī Go-samvāda,” within the dāna-dharma section, concluding the unit of instruction attributed to Bhīṣma’s discourse.
