वायुदेव उवाच
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it frames the preceding material as a completed unit of instruction transmitted through a guru–disciple dialogue, emphasizing the authority of disciplined teaching and the structured handing down of dharma-oriented knowledge.
The text signals closure: it announces that the forty-seventh chapter on the guru–disciple dialogue within the Anugītā section of the Āśvamedhika Parva has concluded, marking a formal end to that chapter’s discourse.
