Lomaśa–Yudhiṣṭhira Dialogue
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत वनपर्वके अन्तर्गत तीर्थयात्रापर्वमें लोमशती थयात्राप्रसंगमें यादवगमनविषयक एक सौ बीसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṁ śrīmahābhārata-vanaparvaṇi antargataṁ tīrthayātrāparvaṇi lomaśatīrthayātrāprasaṅge yādavagamanaviṣayaka ekaśataviṁśatitamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
Sa gayon nagwakas ang ika-isang daan at dalawampu’t isang kabanata ng Vana Parva ng Śrī Mahābhārata, sa loob ng bahaging Tīrtha-yātrā, sa salaysay ni Lomaśa tungkol sa paglalakbay-pananampalataya—lalo na hinggil sa pag-alis/paglalakbay ng mga Yādava.

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the passage does not teach through direct instruction; it frames the text within the dharmic practice of tīrtha-yātrā (pilgrimage), emphasizing continuity of tradition, remembrance of sacred narratives, and the ethical value of orienting one’s life around holy places and exemplary histories.
This line marks the completion of the chapter: within Vana Parva’s pilgrimage section, in the context of Lomasa’s pilgrimage narration, a chapter dealing with the Yādavas’ journey/departure has concluded.
