Disse Vaiśampāyana: Assim, no Śrī Mahābhārata, no Vana Parva, dentro do Tīrthayātrā Parva, no contexto do episódio da peregrinação narrado por Lomāśa, chega ao fim o capítulo centésimo quinquagésimo, acerca do diálogo entre Hanumān e Bhīmasena.

Educational Q&A
As a chapter-colophon, the verse primarily signals closure, but it points to the ethical thrust of the preceding dialogue: true power is guided by humility, devotion, and dharma, and the strong should accept instruction from the wise and elder.
The narrator Vaiśaṃpāyana concludes the chapter within the pilgrimage section of Vana Parva, identifying it as the episode centered on the dialogue between Hanumān and Bhīmasena, and marking the end of that adhyāya.
