Origin and Supremacy of Gold as Ritual Fee

इति श्रीमहा भारते अनुशासनपर्वणि दानधर्मपर्वणि गोप्रदानिके अशीतितमो<ध्याय:

iti śrīmahābhārate anuśāsanaparvaṇi dānadharmaparvaṇi gopradānike aśītitamo 'dhyāyaḥ

Sa gayon nagtatapos ang ikawalong pung kabanata, na pinamagatang “Ang Bahagi tungkol sa Pagkakaloob ng mga Baka,” sa loob ng bahaging “Kawanggawa at Dharma” ng Anuśāsana Parva ng banal na Mahābhārata. Ang pormulang pangwakas na ito’y naglalarawan sa aral bilang isang ganap na yunit ng pagtuturo hinggil sa matuwid na pagbibigay—lalo na ang mabigat na kabutihang-loob at gantimpalang-dharma ng pag-aalay ng mga baka.

Educational Q&A

This line is a colophon marking the completion of a chapter focused on dāna-dharma, specifically go-pradāna (donating cows). It signals that the preceding discourse should be read as a coherent ethical instruction on righteous giving and its religious-social value.

Bhīṣma’s instruction concludes a chapter; the text formally closes the unit by naming the larger book (Anuśāsana Parva), the thematic section (dāna-dharma), the specific topic (go-pradāna), and the chapter number (80th).
