Śatarudrīya-prabhāva and Rudra’s Supremacy (शतरुद्रीयप्रभावः)
इति श्रीमहाभारते अनुशासनपर्वणि दानधर्मपर्वणि उमामहेश्वरसंवादो नाम चत्वारिंशदिधिकशततमो< ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate anuśāsanaparvaṇi dānadharmaparvaṇi umāmaheśvarasaṃvādo nāma catvāriṃśad-adhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
Demikianlah, dalam Śrī Mahābhārata, di dalam Anuśāsana Parva, pada bahagian Dāna-dharma, tamatlah bab ke-seratus empat puluh yang bernama “Dialog Umā dan Maheśvara”. (Ini ialah kolofon penutup bab, bukan suatu ayat doktrin baharu.)

Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon: it primarily signals the completion of a chapter within the Mahābhārata’s Anuśāsana Parva, specifically in the dāna-dharma section, and identifies the chapter’s theme as the dialogue between Umā and Maheśvara.
Bhīṣma’s discourse to Yudhiṣṭhira has reached the end of a chapter; the text formally closes the chapter titled “Umā–Maheśvara Dialogue” within the broader instructional material on the ethics and duties of giving.
