Shloka 107
मातापितृगुरुपूजा-प्रशंसा
Praise of Venerating Mother, Father, and Teacher
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत शान्तिपर्वके अन्तर्गत राजधमनुशासनपर्वमें गणराज्यका बर्तावविषयक एक सौ सातवाँ अध्याय पूरा हआ
iti prakāraḥ śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi antargate rājadharmānuśāsanaparvaṇi gaṇarājyasya vartāva-viṣayaka ekaśata-saptamo 'dhyāyaḥ samāptaḥ
ดังนี้ ในศานติปรวะแห่งศรีมหาภารตะ ภาคว่าด้วยราชธรรมานุศาสนะ บทที่หนึ่งร้อยเจ็ด ว่าด้วยความประพฤติและการปกครองแห่งรัฐแบบคณราชย์ (สาธารณรัฐ) ก็สิ้นสุดลง.
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
This closing colophon points to the chapter’s focus: ethical and disciplined conduct in a gaṇarājya (assembly-based polity). The implied teaching is that collective governance must be anchored in dharma—procedural fairness, unity, restraint, and prioritizing the common welfare over factional gain.
The text is a concluding statement marking the end of Adhyāya 107 within the Rājadharmānuśāsana portion of Śānti Parva. It signals that Bhīṣma’s discourse on the practical conduct of a republican state has been completed.
