Shloka 161

इन्द्रस्य पाण्डवैः समागमः

Indra’s Meeting with the Pāṇḍavas

इति श्रीमहाभारते वनपर्वणि यक्षयुद्धपर्वणि कुबेरदर्शने एकषष्ट्यधिकशततमो< ध्याय:,इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत वनपर्वके अन्तर्गत यक्षयुद्धपर्वमें कुबेरदर्शनविषयक एक सौ इकसठवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ

iti śrīmahābhārate vanaparvaṇi yakṣayuddhaparvaṇi kuberadārśane ekaṣaṣṭyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ |

Như vậy, trong Thánh sử Mahābhārata, thuộc Vana Parva, trong phần nói về cuộc giao chiến với các Yakṣa, chương về cuộc diện kiến Kubera—tức chương thứ một trăm sáu mươi mốt—đến đây chấm dứt. Lời kết này ghi dấu sự hoàn tất của đoạn truyện, báo hiệu sự chuyển từ xung đột với các hữu thể thần linh sang ý nghĩa đạo đức và tâm linh của việc gặp Kubera, chúa tể tài bảo và vị hộ vệ phương Bắc.

Educational Q&A

As a colophon, the verse does not present a direct doctrinal teaching; its ethical function is structural: it closes an episode of confrontation with Yakṣas and frames the subsequent significance of Kubera’s appearance—suggesting that encounters with divine powers (including wealth and authority) are to be understood within dharmic order and narrative consequence rather than mere spectacle.

This is the formal closing line of the chapter: it states that, within Vana Parva and the Yakṣa-battle episode, the chapter dealing with the vision/meeting of Kubera has concluded, identifying it as the 161st chapter.
