Assim, no Śrī Mahābhārata, dentro do Anuśāsana Parva, na seção sobre o dharma da doação (dāna-dharma), chega ao fim o septuagésimo quinto capítulo. Esta fórmula de encerramento assinala a conclusão do capítulo em que a instrução de Bhīṣma a Yudhiṣṭhira continua a moldar a vida ética pela disciplina da generosidade e da conduta reta.

Educational Q&A
This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it signals the completion of a chapter situated in the Dāna-dharma (ethics of giving) discourse, reinforcing that Bhīṣma’s instruction is organized as a sustained ethical teaching on righteous generosity within dharma.
The text formally closes the seventy-fifth chapter of the Dāna-dharma section within the Anuśāsana Parva. It functions as an editorial/narrative marker indicating that the current unit of Bhīṣma’s instruction has ended and the next chapter will begin thereafter.
