Shloka 339
Atithi-prāpti and the Brāhmaṇa’s Deliberation on Triadic Dharma (अतिथिप्राप्तिः धर्मत्रयविचारश्च)
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत शान्तिपर्वके अन्तर्गत मोक्षधर्मपर्वमें नारययणका माहात्म्यविषयक तीन सौ उनतालीसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ

Sa gayon nagwakas ang ika-339 na kabanata ng bahaging Mokṣadharma sa loob ng Śānti Parva ng Śrī Mahābhārata—isang kabanatang nagtatanyag sa kadakilaan ni Nārāyaṇa. Sa pagsasara, inilalagak ang aral na nakatuon sa paglaya sa loob ng debosyon at paggalang sa kataas-taasang banal na simulain.
