Śaraṇāgata-Atithi-Dharma in the Kapota Narrative (कपोत-आख्यानम्—शरणागतधर्मः)
इति श्रीमहाभारते शान्तिपर्वणि आपद्धर्मपर्वणि विश्वामित्रश्नपचसंवादे एकचत्वारिंशदधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi āpaddharmaparvaṇi viśvāmitra-śvapaca-saṃvāde ekacatvāriṃśad-adhika-śatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
至此，《圣摩诃婆罗多》之《寂静篇》中，尤以“危难之法”（Āpaddharma）一段所载，毗湿瓦密多与贱民（śvapaca）之对话告终——此为第一百四十一章。此结尾题记昭示：前文所陈，乃在极端困厄中衡量法（dharma）之指南；当生存与处境逼迫之时，仍须审慎裁断，不失正义之精神。

Educational Q&A
As a chapter-ending colophon, the verse signals that the preceding material belongs to Āpaddharma—ethical reasoning under crisis—implying that dharma must be applied with sensitivity to necessity, context, and the preservation of life, while still aiming to uphold righteousness.
Bhīṣma concludes a unit of instruction by marking the end of the chapter: it is situated in the Śānti Parva, within the Āpaddharma section, and specifically identifies the just-finished dialogue between the sage Viśvāmitra and a śvapaca (outcaste interlocutor).
