Nṛga-upākhyāna: Brāhmaṇa-sva and the Consequence of Misappropriated Gift-Cattle (कृकलास-रूपे नृगोपाख्यानम्)
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्ा भारत अनुशासनपर्वके अन्तर्गत दानधर्मपर्वमें पैंसठवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
ity etad annadānasya tiladānasya caiva ha | bhūmidānasya ca phalaṁ godānasya ca kīrtitam ||
Бхишма сказал: «Так я возвестил плоды этих даров — дар пищи, дар кунжута, дар земли и дар коров». Этими словами завершается наставление о дхарме дарения в Анушасана-парве, утверждая, что каждый вид даны (dāna), принесённый по должному правилу, даёт особые и прославляемые духовные плоды.

Educational Q&A
The verse sums up Bhishma’s instruction that different forms of charitable giving—food, sesame, land, and cows—have praised and specific fruits (phala). It emphasizes dāna as a central ethical duty within dharma, where generosity, offered properly, becomes a source of spiritual merit.
Bhishma, instructing as a teacher of dharma, concludes a section describing the results of various donations. The line functions as a closing statement, marking that he has finished proclaiming the fruits of these key acts of charity.
