Iti prakāraḥ Śrīmahābhārate Vanaparvaṇi antargate Mārkaṇḍeyasamāsyāparvaṇi Dhundhumāropākhyānavishayaka dviśata-ekaviṃśatitamodhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ.
Sa ganitong paraan nagwakas ang ika-201 kabanata ng salaysay tungkol kay Dhundhumāra, na nasa loob ng bahaging Mārkaṇḍeya ng Vana Parva ng banal na Mahābhārata. Pormal na isinara ang yunit ng kuwento, tanda ng pagkapuno ng aral na ito sa mas malawak na balangkas na moral at espirituwal ng “Aklat ng Kagubatan.”

This line functions as a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals the completion of a didactic episode within the Mahābhārata’s forest-book, reminding readers that such embedded tales are framed as moral exempla within a larger ethical narrative.
The storyteller’s section is being formally closed: the text announces that the 201st chapter dealing with the Dhundhumāra episode, within the Mārkaṇḍeya section of the Vana Parva, has ended.
