Sa gayon nagwakas ang ika-328 kabanata ng Mahābhārata sa loob ng Śānti Parva, sa bahaging Gokṣa-dharma, na pinamagatang “Paglalahad ng Sanhi ng Anadhyāya (pansamantalang pagtigil ng pag-aaral ng Veda).” Ang kolofong ito ang tanda ng pagtatapos ng pangaral ni Bhīṣma kung kailan at bakit nararapat ipahinto ang banal na pag-aaral ayon sa dharma.

The chapter’s stated theme is dharmic discipline regarding anadhyāya—recognizing that sacred study is not merely continuous recitation, but must be regulated by prescribed conditions; pausing study at certain times is itself part of proper conduct.
This line is a colophon concluding the chapter: it identifies the larger placement (Śānti Parva, within the Gokṣa-dharma section) and gives the chapter’s title, indicating that Bhīṣma’s explanation of the causes for anadhyāya has been completed.
