Shloka 128
दानशील-समाचारः, सत्कारः, अहिंसा च
Umā–Maheśvara Saṃvāda
इस प्रकार मैंने रहस्यसहित धर्म और अधर्मका वर्णन किया। यह स्वर्गकी कामनावाले मनुष्योंको मृत्युके पश्चात् स्वर्गीय सुखकी प्राप्ति करानेवाला है ।।

Dhaumya disse: “Assim descrevi, juntamente com o seu segredo interior, tanto o dharma quanto o adharma. Este ensinamento concede aos que desejam o céu a obtenção da felicidade celeste após a morte.” Aqui termina, no Śrī Mahābhārata, no Anuśāsana Parva, dentro da seção sobre o Dharma das Dádivas, o capítulo do “Segredo dos Deuses” — o centésimo vigésimo oitavo capítulo.
धौग्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
The speaker concludes that he has explained dharma and adharma along with their ‘secret’ (inner rationale). The teaching is presented as a means by which those aspiring for svarga can attain heavenly happiness after death—linking ethical conduct (especially dāna-dharma in this section) with posthumous reward.
This verse functions as a closing colophon: Dhaumya ends his instruction, and the text formally marks the completion of the chapter within Anuśāsana Parva, in the sub-section on the dharma of giving, titled ‘Deva-rahasya’ (the mystery/secret concerning the gods).
