Cyavana–Kuśika Dialogue on Hospitality, Service, and Lineage Questions
इति श्रीमहा भारते अनुशासनपर्वणि दानधर्मपर्वणि विवाहधर्मे पुत्रप्रतिनिधिकथने एकोनपज्चाशत्तमो< ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate anuśāsanaparvaṇi dānadharmaparvaṇi vivāhadharme putrapratinidhikathane ekonapañcāśattamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
至此，在尊贵的《摩诃婆罗多》中，阿努沙娑那篇之内——尤指“布施法”（Dāna-dharma）部分，并置于婚姻之法的语境下——论及“为求得子嗣而立代表者”的第四十九章告终。章末题记表明，此段教诲被界定为受规范的义务与社会伦理秩序，而非出于个人欲望。
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse’s function is to frame the preceding instruction as dharma-śāstra-like guidance: questions of marriage and securing offspring are treated as regulated duties tied to lineage and social responsibility, not merely private preference.
The chapter concludes. The text signals that, within Anuśāsana Parva’s instructional discourse, the unit on dāna-dharma has reached a subsection on marriage-dharma, specifically the discussion of appointing a representative for begetting a son; the forty-ninth chapter is declared complete.
