Adhyāya 152 — Bhīṣma’s Authorization for Yudhiṣṭhira’s Return to the Capital (नगरप्रवेशानुज्ञा)
इति श्रीमहाभारते अनुशासनपर्वणि दानधर्मपर्वणि उमामहेश्वरसंवादे स्त्रीधर्मक थने षट्चत्वारिंशदधिकशततमो< ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate anuśāsanaparvaṇi dānadharmaparvaṇi umāmaheśvarasaṃvāde strīdharma-kathane ṣaṭcatvāriṃśad-adhika-śatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
如是,在《圣摩诃婆罗多》中,于《阿努沙娑那篇》之内——尤在论施舍之法的段落中——当优摩与大自在天(摩醯湿伐罗)对话之际,叙述妇女之义务与行持的篇章至此告终:此为第一百四十六章。(此句为章末题记,用以标示章终,并非推进叙事。)
भीष्म उवाच
This line is a colophon: it does not add a new teaching but signals that the instructional discussion—framed as the Umā–Maheśvara dialogue and focused on strīdharma within the broader dāna-dharma context—has concluded for this chapter.
Bhīṣma’s discourse (as transmitted in the Anuśāsana Parva) reaches a formal chapter-end marker, identifying the textual location: Anuśāsana Parva → Dāna-dharma section → Umā–Maheśvara dialogue → exposition on strīdharma; the 146th chapter is declared complete.
