गोप्रदानविधिः (Gopradāna-vidhi) — Procedure and Praise of Cow-Gifting
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत अनुशासनपर्वके अन्तर्गत दानधर्मपर्वमें यमराजका वाक्य नामक इकह्तत्तवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
Iti prakāraḥ Śrīmahābhārate anuśāsanaparvake antargata dānadharmaparvame Yamarājasya vākya-nāmaka ekasaptatitamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ abhavat.
Sa gayon, sa Śrī Mahābhārata, sa loob ng Anuśāsana Parva—lalo na sa bahaging Dāna-dharma Parva (tungkol sa dharma ng pagbibigay)—natapos ang ikapitumpu’t isang kabanata na pinamagatang “Pahayag ni Yama.” Ang kolofon na ito’y tanda ng pagwawakas ng isang yunit ng pagtuturo, na nagbibigay-diin sa aral ng asal na matuwid at pagkakawanggawa sa pamamagitan ng makapangyarihang mga salita ni Yama.

This line is a colophon marking the end of a chapter framed as Yama’s authoritative instruction within the Dāna-dharma section; its ethical thrust is that dharma is taught through disciplined guidance, with special emphasis on the moral weight of giving and righteous conduct.
Rather than advancing plot, the text signals closure: it announces that the seventy-first chapter—titled “Yama’s Discourse”—within the Anuśāsana Parva’s Dāna-dharma section has been completed.
