Translation

Assim, no venerável Mahābhārata, dentro do Śānti Parva—em particular na seção do Rājadharmānuśāsana Parva, a instrução sobre os deveres do rei—encerra-se o nonagésimo sexto capítulo, proferido em resposta às perguntas de quem busca a vitória. Esta fórmula de fecho assinala a conclusão de uma unidade do conselho de Bhīṣma sobre a realeza justa e a arte de governar.
