इति श्रीमहाभारते अनुशासनपर्वणि दानधर्मपर्वणि उमामहेश्व॒रसंवादे द्विचत्वारिंशदधिकशततमो< ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate anuśāsanaparvaṇi dānadharmaparvaṇi umāmaheśvarasaṃvāde dvi-catvāriṃśad-adhika-śatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
Kaya nga, sa Śrī Mahābhārata, sa loob ng Anuśāsana Parva, sa bahagi tungkol sa dharma ng pagbibigay (dāna-dharma), sa pag-uusap nina Umā at Maheśvara, nagwakas ang ika-isang daan at apatnapu’t dalawang kabanata. (Ang kalakip na pangwakas na tala sa limbag na edisyon ay muling nagsasaad na ang kabanatang ito tungkol sa pag-uusap nina Umā–Maheśvara, sa ilalim ng bahaging Dāna-dharma, ay natapos na.)

Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon marking the end of a chapter; it frames the teaching context as dāna-dharma (the ethics of giving) delivered through the Umā–Maheśvara dialogue, emphasizing that the surrounding instruction belongs to the moral discipline of generosity and righteous conduct.
The text is concluding: it formally states that, within the Mahābhārata’s Anuśāsana Parva and its dāna-dharma section, the chapter connected with the dialogue between Umā and Maheśvara has ended (the 142nd chapter as counted in this internal sequence/colophon tradition).
