अम्बोपाख्याने तापसानां विचारः तथा होत्रवाहनस्य उपदेशः
Ambā among ascetics; Hotravāhana directs her to Paraśurāma

iti śrīmahābhārate udyogaparvaṇi ambopākhyānaparvaṇi śaikhāvaty-ambāsaṃvāde pañcasaptatyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
Demikianlah, dalam Śrī Mahābhārata, di dalam Udyoga Parva, pada bahagian yang dikenali sebagai Ambopākhyāna, berakhirlah dialog antara Śaikhāvatī dan Ambā; maka sempurnalah bab yang ke-seratus tujuh puluh lima. Kolofon ini menandai penutupan satu jalur kisah yang sarat beban dharma, berpusat pada keluh-kesah Ambā serta akibat sumpah, agensi diri, dan pencarian keadilan yang bergema hingga ke krisis etika besar menjelang perang.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse itself teaches indirectly: it frames the Ambā episode as a completed unit within the war-preparation book, highlighting how personal injury, vows, and the pursuit of redress become ethically consequential forces that feed into the larger dharmic breakdown preceding the Kurukṣetra war.
The text is closing the chapter: it announces that the dialogue between Śaikhāvatī and Ambā in the Ambopākhyāna section of the Udyoga Parva has ended, and that the one-hundred-and-seventy-fifth chapter is complete.
