Demikianlah berakhir bab ke-195 dalam Śrī Mahābhārata, bahagian Vana Parva, dalam subbahagian Markandeya Samasya, yang mengisahkan riwayat Raja Yayāti. Kolofon penutup ini menandai selesainya satu unit naratif yang membingkai kisah Yayāti sebagai teladan moral dalam konteks episod pengembaraan di rimba.
ब्राह्मण उवाच
Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse itself teaches primarily through framing: it marks Yayāti’s life-story as a self-contained moral exemplum within the Vana Parva’s didactic setting, inviting the reader to treat the preceding narrative as ethically instructive rather than merely entertaining.
This line is not part of the spoken story-action; it is an editorial/recitational closure indicating that the chapter concerning Yayāti’s account has concluded within the Markandeya-associated subsection of the Vana Parva.
