Sagara’s Aśvamedha Horse Lost; The Sixty-Thousand Sons Begin the Subterranean Search

Kapila Introduced

इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत वनपर्वके अन्तर्गत तीर्थयात्रापर्वमें लोमशती र्थयात्राके प्रस॑ंगमें अगस्त्यका समुद्रतटटपर गमनविषयक एक सौ चारवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ

iti prakāraṁ śrīmahābhārate vanaparvake antargataṁ tīrthayātrāparvaṇi lomaśatīrthayātrā-prasaṅge agastyasya samudra-taṭe gamana-viṣayakam ekaśata-caturthaṁ adhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ

Assim termina o capítulo centésimo quarto do Vana Parva do Śrī Mahābhārata, no âmbito do Tīrthayātrā Parva, no contexto da narrativa de peregrinação de Lomāśa—descrevendo a jornada de Agastya até a orla do mar. Este colofão assinala uma transição: o relato da viagem sagrada prossegue, enquadrando os acontecimentos como parte de um itinerário maior de ética e purificação, e não como mera geografia.

Educational Q&A

The colophon reinforces the Mahābhārata’s framing of pilgrimage (tīrthayātrā) as a disciplined, value-oriented journey: sacred travel is presented as a means of purification and moral reorientation, not merely movement through places.

This is the chapter-ending colophon stating that, in Lomāśa’s pilgrimage discourse within the Tīrthayātrā Parva of the Vana Parva, the chapter concerning Agastya’s going to the ocean shore has concluded.
