Assim, no Śrī Mahābhārata, no âmbito do Ādi Parva, na seção referente ao abate de Hiḍimba, chega ao fim o capítulo cento e cinquenta e cinco—que descreve a entrada dos Pāṇḍavas na cidade de Ekacakrā e o encontro com Vyāsa. A fórmula de encerramento ressalta a passagem do perigo à orientação: vencida a ameaça, os heróis adentram um novo espaço social e recebem o conselho e a visão do sábio, enquadrando os próximos atos no dharma e na prudência.

Educational Q&A
The chapter-ending colophon highlights a dharmic pattern: after confronting and removing a harmful force, the protagonists proceed under the guidance of a r̥ṣi. Ethical action is framed not merely as strength, but as strength aligned with wise counsel and social responsibility.
This is the formal closing statement for the chapter. It signals that the narrative has covered the Pāṇḍavas’ entry into Ekacakrā and their audience with Vyāsa, and that the 155th chapter (within the stated parvan context) is complete.
