Kośa-saṃjanana and Subtle Dharma
Treasury Formation and Fine-Grained Ethics
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत शान्तिपर्वके अन्तर्गत आपद्धर्मपर्वमें राजर्षियोंका चरित्र नामक एक सौ बत्तीसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
iti prakāraṁ śrīmahābhārata-śāntiparva-ke antargata āpaddharmaparva-meṁ rājarṣīṇāṁ caritra nāma eka-śata-battiśvāṁ adhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ huā
یوں شری مہابھارت کے شانتِی پَرو کے تحت آپدھرم پَرو میں “راج رشیوں کا چرتِر” کے نام سے ایک سو بتیسواں باب اختتام کو پہنچا۔
भीष्म उवाच
As a colophon, the line itself does not add new instruction; it marks the completion of a chapter focused on āpaddharma—how rulers and the righteous should uphold dharma under distress—illustrated through the exemplary conduct (caritra) of rājarṣis.
The text is closing a chapter within the Śānti Parva’s Āpaddharma section, indicating that the chapter titled “Rājarṣīṇāṁ Caritra” has ended; it functions as an editorial/narrative boundary rather than spoken dialogue.
