iti prakāraḥ śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi antargate mokṣadharmaparvaṇi manu-bṛhaspati-saṃvāda-viṣayaka dviśata-dvitīyo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ

Translation

Như vậy, chương thứ hai trăm lẻ hai của phần Mokṣadharma thuộc Śānti Parva trong Śrī Mahābhārata—nói về cuộc đối thoại giữa Manu và Bṛhaspati—đã kết thúc. Lời kết (colophon) này báo hiệu sự hoàn tất của một đơn vị giáo huấn, đặt cuộc bàn luận vừa qua trong khuôn khổ chỉ dẫn về dharma hướng đến giải thoát, chứ không phải chuyện chiến địa.

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it frames the preceding material as Mokṣadharma—dharma oriented toward liberation—and identifies its pedagogical form as a Manu–Bṛhaspati dialogue, emphasizing authoritative instruction on ethical and spiritual aims.

What is happening in the narrative?

Bhīṣma’s discourse (as presented in the Śānti Parva) reaches a formal chapter boundary: the text announces that the chapter concerning the Manu–Bṛhaspati conversation has concluded, marking a transition point to the next unit of instruction.
