The colophon signals the chapter’s ethical focus: even in distress (āpaddharma), one should move toward restraint and the cessation of harmful conduct—here framed as the hunter’s ‘uparati,’ i.e., desisting from violence and wrongdoing.
This is the closing formula of the text, marking the completion of the chapter within Śānti Parva’s Āpaddharma section, and identifying its topic as the hunter’s cessation (lubdhakoparati).
