Sandhi–Vigraha in Āpada: The Mouse and the Cat (सन्धिविग्रहापदि—मूषकमार्जारसंवादः)
इति श्रीमहा भारते शान्तिपर्वणि आपद्धर्मपर्वणि कायव्यचरिते पज्चत्रिंशदधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi āpaddharmaparvaṇi kāyavyacarite pañcatriṃśad-adhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
یوں مقدّس مہابھارت کے شانتِی پَرو میں، بالخصوص آپدھرم پَرو کے اندر، کایویہ-چریت کے ضمن میں ایک سو پینتیسواں ادھیائے اختتام کو پہنچا۔

This line is a colophon marking the close of a chapter; it frames the surrounding discourse as instruction on dharma—especially right conduct during adversity (āpaddharma), with emphasis here on bodily behavior and discipline.
The text signals the end of the 135th chapter within the Śānti Parva’s Āpaddharma section. It functions as an editorial closure rather than a spoken verse advancing the story.
