इति श्रीमहाभारते अनुशासनपर्वणि दानधर्मपर्वणि सुवर्णोत्पत्तिर्नाम चतुरशीतितमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate anuśāsanaparvaṇi dānadharmaparvaṇi suvarṇotpattir nāma caturaśītitamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Assim, no Śrī Mahābhārata, dentro do Anuśāsana Parva—em particular na seção sobre o dharma das dádivas—termina o octogésimo quarto capítulo, intitulado “A Origem do Ouro”. Esta fórmula de encerramento assinala a conclusão da instrução de Bhīṣma sobre o dever da caridade, enquadrando a narrativa como ensinamento moral acerca da sacralidade e do entendimento correto do ato de dar.

Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon concluding the chapter; it frames the preceding discourse as instruction in dāna-dharma (the ethical duty of giving) and signals that the chapter’s theme concerns suvarṇotpatti, the origin and significance of gold in the context of charity.
The text is closing the eighty-fourth chapter within the Anuśāsana Parva’s dāna-dharma section. It is not a spoken verse of narrative action but an editorial/end-of-chapter marker indicating the chapter title and placement.
