Так, в почитаемой «Махабхарате», в составе Ади-парвы — а именно Самбхава-парвы — завершается девяносто четвёртая глава, посвящённая перечислению и изложению рода Пуру. Рассказчик торжественно отмечает формальное окончание главы, знаменуя переход в повествовании о родословиях и истоках, на которых зиждутся нравственные и династические основания эпоса.

This closing colophon underscores the Mahābhārata’s ethical method: grounding later moral conflicts in lineage, succession, and legitimacy. By carefully preserving dynastic memory (vaṃśa-anukīrtana), the text frames dharma not as abstract theory but as something inherited, tested, and enacted across generations.
The speaker marks the end of a chapter within the Sambhava Parva that recounts the Pūru lineage. It is a formal chapter-ending statement (colophon) indicating that the genealogical narration has reached a stopping point and the text will proceed to the next segment.
