मांसपरिवर्जन-प्रशंसा (Praise of Abstention from Meat) / Ethics of Ahiṃsā in Diet and Rite
इति श्रीमहा भारते अनुशासनपर्वणि दानधर्मपर्वणि संसारचक्रे दादशाधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate anuśāsanaparvaṇi dānadharmaparvaṇi saṃsāracakre dvādaśādhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
Sa gayon nagtatapos ang ika-isang daan at labindalawang kabanata, na pinamagatang “Ang Gulong ng Saṃsāra,” sa bahaging Dāna-dharma (dharma ng pagbibigay) ng Anuśāsana Parva ng banal na Mahābhārata. Ang pangwakas na kolopon na ito’y naglalarawan sa aral bilang bahagi ng etikal na tagubilin ni Bhīṣma tungkol sa pagkakawanggawa at wastong asal, at binibigyang-diin ang paikot na kalikasan ng makamundong pag-iral na nilalayon ng dharma na malampasan.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the line does not add new doctrine but signals that the preceding instruction belongs to the Dāna-dharma teachings and is framed under the theme of the ‘wheel of saṃsāra,’ implying that ethical living and generosity are presented as means to purify life within, and ultimately rise beyond, cyclical worldly bondage.
This is the formal closing formula marking the end of a chapter in the Anuśāsana Parva. It identifies the textual location (Mahābhārata → Anuśāsana Parva → Dāna-dharma section) and names the chapter’s theme (‘Saṃsāra-cakra’), functioning as an editorial/recensional endpoint rather than spoken dialogue.
