Như vậy, trong bộ Śrī Mahābhārata, thuộc Śānti Parva—đặc biệt là phần Mokṣadharma—trong cuộc đối thoại giữa Bhṛgu và Bharadvāja, phần thuật về nguồn gốc các “chúng sinh do tâm sinh” (mānasa-bhūta), chương thứ một trăm tám mươi (Adhyāya 180) đã kết thúc.
भरद्वाज उवाच
Educational Q&A
This line functions as a colophon: it frames the teaching as part of Mokṣadharma, emphasizing that the preceding discussion belongs to liberation-oriented dharma and includes a cosmogonic account of the arising of mental beings—topics used to orient the listener toward metaphysical understanding that supports detachment and liberation.
The text is closing a chapter within the Śānti Parva. It identifies the setting as a dialogue between the sages Bhṛgu and Bharadvāja and labels the subject as the account of the origin of mental beings, marking the end of the chapter.
