Dyumatsena’s Restoration and Sāvitrī’s Disclosure of Yama’s Boons (आरण्यकपर्व, अध्याय २८२)
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत वनपर्वके अन्तर्गत रामोपाख्यानपर्वमें त्रिजटाद्वारा सीताको आश्वासनविषयक दो सौ अस्सीवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṁ śrīmahābhārata-vanaparvake antargata-rāmopākhyānaparvaṇi trijaṭā-dvārā sītāyāḥ āśvāsana-viṣayakaḥ dviśatāśītitamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
Assim termina o capítulo ducentésimo octogésimo da seção Rāmopākhyāna, dentro do Vana Parva do Śrī Mahābhārata, acerca do consolo dado a Sītā por Trijaṭā. O fecho deste capítulo ressalta a firmeza na adversidade e o poder sustentador do conselho compassivo quando o dharma é provado pelo sofrimento e pela separação.

Educational Q&A
Even amid captivity and grief, dharma is sustained by inner steadiness and by the compassionate words of those who recognize truth; reassurance (āśvāsana) becomes an ethical act that protects hope and prevents despair from eroding righteous resolve.
This is a concluding colophon stating that the chapter has ended: within the Rāmopākhyāna portion of the Vana Parva, Trijaṭā has offered reassurance to Sītā, and the two hundred and eightieth chapter is declared complete.
