Kāpavya-carita (कापव्यचरित) — Reforming Dasyus through Regulated Rāja-Dharma
इति श्रीमहाभारते शान्तिपर्वणि आपद्धर्मपर्वणि राजर्षिवृत्तं नाम द्वात्रिशयदिधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi āpaddharmaparvaṇi rājarṣivṛttaṃ nāma dvātriṃśadadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Так, в «Шри Махабхарате», в «Шанти-парве» и, в особенности, в разделе об ападдхарме (дхарме во времена бедствия), завершается сто тридцать вторая глава, озаглавленная «Повествование о царственном риши».
भीष्म उवाच
This line is a colophon marking the chapter’s conclusion and situating it within Śānti Parva’s Āpaddharma teachings, emphasizing that the preceding narrative about a royal sage functions as ethical instruction—especially about right conduct under distress.
The verse does not advance the story; it formally closes the chapter, naming its theme (“Account of the Royal Sage”) and identifying its placement in the Mahābhārata’s Śānti Parva, within the Āpaddharma section.
