至此,《圣摩诃婆罗多》之《教诫篇》(Anuśāsana Parva)中、论“施舍之法”(dāna-dharma)一章,名为“赎罪仪轨”(prāyaścitta-vidhi)的第一百三十六章告终。
भीष्य उवाच
This verse is a colophon marking the close of a chapter devoted to prāyaścitta—ethical and ritual means of expiation. Its core message is that dharma includes not only right conduct but also structured ways to repair moral and social order after transgression.
The text is concluding a chapter within Bhīṣma’s instructional discourse (Anuśāsana Parva). Rather than advancing plot, it formally signals the end of the chapter on expiation procedures within the broader discussion of dāna-dharma (the ethics of giving).
