This line is a colophon (chapter-ending marker). It does not present a new teaching; it situates the text within the Mahābhārata’s Śānti Parva and its Mokṣa-dharma section, emphasizing the work’s organization around dharma and liberation-oriented discourse.

What is happening in the narrative?

The chapter concludes. The statement formally records that the 329th adhyāya of the Mokṣa-dharma portion within the Śānti Parva has ended.
