Aging and Death Cannot Be Overstepped

इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत शान्तिपर्वके अन्तर्गत मोक्षधर्मपर्वमें वायिष्ठ और करालजनकका संवादविषयक तीन सौ छठा अध्याय पूरा हुआ

iti prakāraṃ śrīmahābhārata-śāntiparva-ke antargata mokṣadharmaparva-meṃ vāyiṣṭha-karālajanaka-saṃvāda-viṣayaka trī-śata ṣaṣṭha adhyāya pūrṇa huā

Như vậy kết thúc chương thứ ba trăm lẻ sáu của phần Mokṣadharma thuộc Śānti Parva trong bộ Śrī Mahābhārata, nói về cuộc đối thoại liên quan đến Vāyiṣṭha và Karāla Janaka. Dòng kết này báo hiệu sự viên mãn của một đoạn giáo huấn hướng về giải thoát và chánh tri, chứ không nhằm thúc đẩy hành động thế tục.

Educational Q&A

As a concluding colophon, the line primarily frames the teaching context: the Mokṣadharma portion of Śānti Parva presents liberation-oriented instruction through dialogue. The emphasis is that the preceding discussion belongs to the ethical-philosophical tradition of mokṣa—right knowledge, detachment, and inner peace—rather than ritual or warfare.

The text is not advancing the plot but closing a unit: it announces that the 306th chapter, centered on the dialogue involving Vāyiṣṭha and Karāla Janaka within Mokṣadharma of Śānti Parva, has ended. Such a closure helps readers locate the discourse within the larger structure of the Mahābhārata.
