Translation

Sa gayon nagtatapos ang ika-apatnapu’t pitong kabanata, hinggil sa pag-uusap ng guro at alagad, sa bahaging Anugītā na nasa loob ng Āśvamedhika Parva ng banal na Mahābhārata. Ang pormulang pangwakas na ito’y hudyat ng pagwawakas ng isang yunit ng pagtuturo, na inilalarawan ang naunang talakayan bilang isang maayos na pagpapasa ng aral na etikal at espirituwal.
