Assim, no Śrī Mahābhārata, no Vana Parva—dentro do Tīrthayātrā Parva—por ocasião da peregrinação aos lugares sagrados do mundo, conclui-se o capítulo cento e trinta e nove, que descreve a entrada dos Pāṇḍavas nas cadeias de montanhas começando por Kailāsa.

The colophon underscores the dharmic value of tīrthayātrā—pilgrimage as a disciplined journey of purification and ethical renewal—framing the Pāṇḍavas’ movement through sacred landscapes as part of their larger path of endurance, restraint, and righteousness.
This is an end-of-chapter notice stating that the chapter has concluded; it situates the episode within Vana Parva’s Tīrthayātrā Parva and identifies the topic as the Pāṇḍavas’ entry into the mountain ranges beginning with Mount Kailāsa.
