Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 161
इति श्रीमहाभारते अनुशासनपर्वणि दानधर्मपर्वणि महेश्वरमाहात्म्यं नाम एकषष्ट्यधिकशततमो< ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate anuśāsanaparvaṇi dānadharmaparvaṇi maheśvaramāhātmyaṃ nāma ekaṣaṣṭyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
至此，在《圣摩诃婆罗多》中，属于《阿努沙娑那篇》（Anuśāsana Parva），并且在论“布施之法”（dāna-dharma）的部分里，题为《大自在天（Maheśvara）之伟大》的章节宣告终了——此为第一百六十一章。此结语以正式的章末题记收束教诲，将前文的论述安置于布施（慷慨）与对湿婆（大自在天）的虔敬之伦理传统之中。

Educational Q&A
This verse is a colophon rather than a new doctrinal statement: it frames the preceding material as instruction in dāna-dharma (the ethics of giving) and as a māhātmya (glorification) of Maheśvara (Śiva), signaling that generosity and devotion are being presented as central virtues within this section.
The chapter formally concludes. The text identifies the larger book (Anuśāsana Parva), the internal section (Dāna-dharma Parva), the chapter’s title/theme (Maheśvara-māhātmya), and its ordinal number (161st), marking the end of that adhyāya.
