पात्रलक्षण-परिक्षा (Pātra-Lakṣaṇa Parīkṣā) — Criteria for a Worthy Recipient
इति श्रीमहाभारते अनुशासनपर्वणि दानधर्मपर्वणि पृथ्वीवासुदेवसंवादे चतुस्त्रिंशो 5ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate anuśāsanaparvaṇi dānadharmaparvaṇi pṛthvī-vāsudeva-saṃvāde catuḥstriṃśo 'dhyāyaḥ
如是，在《圣摩诃婆罗多》之《阿努沙娑那篇》中——尤在“布施之法”（Dāna-dharma）一节——以大地（Pṛthvī）与婆苏提婆（Vāsudeva）之对话呈现的第三十四章告终。此结语标示教诲语境的闭合：慈施之伦理原则，乃借神圣对谈而立。

Educational Q&A
This line functions as a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it frames the ethical instruction as belonging to the dāna-dharma (the duty and right practice of giving) and situates it within a sacred dialogue, underscoring that charity is treated as a formal, scripturally grounded component of dharma.
The text is closing a chapter: it announces that, within the Anuśāsana Parva’s section on charity, the chapter connected with the conversation between Pṛthvī (Earth) and Vāsudeva has concluded.
