Nīti-upadeśa to a Rājaputra: Self-restraint, Alliances, and Rival-Management (नीतिउपदेशः)
इति श्रीमहा भारते शान्तिपर्वणि राजधर्मानुशासनपर्वणि कालकवृक्षीये पञ्चाधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi rājadharmānuśāsanaparvaṇi kālakavṛkṣīye pañcādhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
至此，在尊贵的《摩诃婆罗多》之《寂静篇》（Śānti Parva）中，关于王法（Rājadharma）教诫部分的“迦罗迦与树女（Kālaka-and-the-Vṛkṣī）”一节——第一百零五章——宣告终了。叙事框架仍系毗湿摩对王道与法（dharma）的权威训诲，标志着本章伦理论述的正式收束。

Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon marking the end of a chapter within Bhīṣma’s instruction on rājadharma. Its function is structural: it situates the teaching within Śānti Parva and the Rājadharma instruction section, emphasizing the Mahābhārata’s didactic organization of ethical guidance for rulers.
Bhīṣma’s discourse continues as the overarching narrative frame, but this particular verse does not advance plot; it formally closes the chapter identified as ‘Kālaka-Vṛkṣīya’ and signals the transition to the next unit of instruction.
