Demikianlah berakhir bab kesembilan puluh enam dalam Anuśāsana Parva daripada Śrī Mahābhārata, dalam bahagian Dāna-dharma (dharma pemberian), yang bertajuk “Pujian terhadap Sedekah Payung dan Sedekah Alas Kaki.” Dalam konteks etika, kolofon penutup ini menegaskan bahawa pemberian yang sederhana dan praktikal—yang melindungi serta menyokong orang lain dalam kehidupan seharian—juga dipandang sebagai amalan dharma yang bermerit.
