इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत वनपर्वके अन्तर्गत रामोपाख्यानपर्वमें श्रीरयमवनगमनविषयक दो सौ सतहत्तरवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraḥ śrīmahābhārate vanaparvaṇi antargate rāmopākhyānaparvaṇi śrīrāmasya vanagamanaviṣayakaḥ dviśata-saptasaptatitamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ
Sa gayon nagwakas ang ika-277 kabanata ng Vana Parva ng Mahābhārata, sa loob ng bahaging Rāmopākhyāna, na tumatalakay sa pag-alis ni Śrī Rāma patungo sa gubat. Ang kolofon na ito’y tanda ng pagtatapos ng yunit ng salaysay, at binibigyang-diin ang aral: ang pagtanggap sa hirap bilang pagsunod sa dharma at sa wastong tungkulin.

As a concluding colophon to the Rāma narrative segment, it highlights the dharmic ideal of accepting personal hardship—such as forest exile—when it arises from duty, rightful order, and fidelity to one’s obligations.
This line is not a spoken verse of dialogue but a closing notice: it marks the completion of the chapter within the Rāmopākhyāna section of the Vana Parva, specifically the portion concerning Śrī Rāma’s going to the forest.
