Sa gayon nagwakas ang ikaanimnapu’t anim na kabanata ng Anuśāsana Parva ng Śrī Mahābhārata, sa loob ng bahaging Dāna-dharma (dharma ng pagbibigay), na pinamagatang “Papuri sa Pagkakaloob ng Payong at Pagkakaloob ng Paaing (sapin sa paa).” Sa diwang etikal, ipinahihiwatig ng pangwakas na kolopon na maging ang payak at praktikal na mga handog—yaong nagpoprotekta at sumusuporta sa kapwa sa araw-araw—ay kinikilalang may dakilang kabutihang-dharma.

This is the chapter-ending colophon stating that the chapter titled “Praise of the gift of an umbrella and footwear,” within the Dāna-dharma section of the Anuśāsana Parva, has concluded.
