देवतापितृप्रश्नः — Nārada at Badarīāśrama: the ultimate referent of daiva and pitṛ worship
इस प्रकार श्रीमहा भारत शान्तिपर्वके अन्तर्गत मोक्षधर्मपर्वमें युलभा और जनकका संवादविषयक तीन सौ बीसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṁ śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi antargate mokṣadharmaparvaṇi yulabhā-janaka-saṁvāda-viṣayakaḥ triśatatamaviṁśatittamo 'dhyāyaḥ samāptaḥ
Sa gayon, sa Śrī Mahābhārata, sa loob ng Śānti Parva—lalo na sa bahaging Mokṣadharma—nagtatapos ang ika-320 kabanata na tumatalakay sa pag-uusap nina Yulabhā at Haring Janaka. Ang pormulang pangwakas na ito’y hudyat ng pagwawakas ng isang aral na nakatuon sa paglaya, na inilahad sa pamamagitan ng makatuwirang pagtalakay.

Educational Q&A
This verse is a colophon marking the end of a chapter; it frames the preceding teaching as a Mokṣadharma discourse—liberation-oriented dharma—delivered through the dialogue of Yulabhā and King Janaka, emphasizing reflective inquiry as a vehicle for ethical and spiritual clarity.
Bhīṣma’s narration reaches a formal chapter-end: the Mahābhārata’s Śānti Parva, within its Mokṣadharma section, concludes the chapter whose subject is the conversation between Yulabhā and Janaka.
