iti śrīmahābhārate anuśāsanaparvaṇi dānadharmaparvaṇi sāvitrīvratopākhyāne pañcāśad-adhika-śatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Demikianlah, dalam Śrī Mahābhārata, di dalam Anuśāsana Parva—khususnya pada bahagian tentang dharma pemberian (dāna-dharma)—dalam kisah mengenai ikrar Sāvitrī, berakhirlah bab yang ke-seratus lima puluh. Inilah kolofon yang menandai penutupan satu rangkaian ajaran, menempatkan naratif dalam kerangka etika kewajipan bersedekah serta disiplin yang berasaskan nazar dan tapa.

Educational Q&A
The line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it frames the teaching within dāna-dharma (the ethics of giving) and the Sāvitrī-vrata episode, emphasizing that moral instruction in the Mahābhārata is organized through themed sections and illustrative narratives.
The text is marking the end of a chapter/unit: it identifies the larger book (Anuśāsana Parva), the thematic subsection (dāna-dharma), and the specific embedded story (Sāvitrī-vrata upākhyāna), concluding the 150th chapter.
