Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 121
Nārāyaṇa-tejas: Kṛṣṇa’s Vrata, the Fire-Manifestation, and the Sages’ Inquiry (अनुशासन पर्व, अध्याय १२६)
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्या भारत अनुशासनपर्वके अन्तर्गत दानधर्मपर्वमें मैत्रेयकी भभिक्षाविषयक एक सौ इकक््कीसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ

至此，《圣摩诃婆罗多》之《教诫篇》（Anuśāsana Parva）中“施法品”（Dāna-dharma）里，关于弥勒耶（Maitreya）论乞食（bhikṣā）之第一百二十一章告终。此结尾题记昭示一段教诲已圆满：乞食与布施被置于戒律与法（dharma）所导之行持，而非仅是世俗交易。

Educational Q&A
The verse is a colophon marking the end of a chapter focused on bhikṣā (alms) within the broader dharma of giving. Its ethical framing implies that alms and charity are to be understood as regulated by dharma—guided by right intention, propriety, and the moral responsibilities of giver and receiver.
Maitreya’s discourse on matters related to alms concludes, and the text formally closes the 121st chapter of the Dāna-dharma section within the Anuśāsana Parva. It is an editorial/narrative closure rather than a new event.
