Āpad-dharma and Discernment in Livelihood (आपद्धर्मे विज्ञानबलम्)
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत शान्तिपर्वके अन्तर्गत राजधमनुिशासनपर्वमें ऋषभगीताविषयक एक सौ अद्ठाईसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṁ śrī-mahābhārate śānti-parvaṇi antargata rājadharmānuśāsana-parvaṇi ṛṣabha-gītā-viṣayaka eka-śata-aṣṭāviṁśat-tamo 'dhyāyaḥ samāptaḥ
Assim, no venerando Mahābhārata, dentro do Śānti Parva—mais precisamente na seção Rājadharmānuśāsana—conclui-se o capítulo cento e vinte e oito, que trata do ensinamento conhecido como Ṛṣabha-gītā.
भीष्म उवाच
This line is a colophon marking the completion of a chapter whose subject is the Ṛṣabha-gītā within the Rājadharma (duties of kings) instructional material of the Śānti Parva; it signals a transition point in the didactic exposition rather than adding new doctrine in itself.
The text formally closes the chapter: it states that, in the Mahābhārata’s Śānti Parva—within the Rājadharmānuśāsana section—the 128th chapter on the topic of Ṛṣabha-gītā has ended.
