Ini ialah kolofon dan catatan editorial yang menandai selesainya Anuśāsana Parva dalam edisi Gita Press. Ia tidak menyampaikan peristiwa naratif atau ajaran etika daripada kisah Mahābhārata; sebaliknya, ia merekodkan butiran metrum/pengiraan serta jumlah rangkap sebagaimana disusun dalam resensi wilayah yang berbeza (India Utara dan India Selatan) dan dalam pengelompokan metrum yang berlainan.

This line is not a teaching verse; it is a colophon/editorial note indicating the end of the Anuśāsana Parva and giving metrical/verse-count information across recensions.
No narrative action occurs here. The printed material marks the conclusion of the parva and summarizes how verses are counted (e.g., treating larger metres by converting to anuṣṭubh-equivalent counts) and lists totals for different regional textual traditions.
