इति श्रीमहाभारते आश्रमवासिके पर्वणि आश्रमवासपर्वणि ऋषीन प्रति युधिष्ठिरादिकथने पड्चविंशो5ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate āśramavāsike parvaṇi āśramavāsaparvaṇi ṛṣīn prati yudhiṣṭhirādikathane pañcaviṃśo 'dhyāyaḥ
至此，在《圣摩诃婆罗多》中，属于《林居品》（Āśramavāsika Parva）之住林道场一段，第二十五章告终：叙述提湿提罗等人向诸仙（ṛṣi）陈词。此结语将该段落框定为一场带着强烈道德分量的对话——王者之责与出离之志，在灵性权威之前被衡量与裁断。

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse does not add new doctrine but signals that the chapter’s ethical focus is a royal party (Yudhiṣṭhira and others) engaging sages—implying that dharma is clarified and validated through consultation with spiritual authorities, especially in matters of renunciation and right conduct after worldly power.
The verse marks the formal close of the chapter: it identifies the work (Mahābhārata), the parva (Āśramavāsika), and the chapter’s subject—Yudhiṣṭhira and others speaking to the sages—functioning as an editorial/narrative boundary rather than a plot event.
