The Thirteen Inner Adversaries (Trayodaśa Doṣāḥ): Origins and Pacification
इति श्रीमहाभारते शान्तिपर्वणि आपद्धर्मपर्वणि पवनशाल्मलिसंवादे षट्पज्चाशदधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi āpaddharmaparvaṇi pavanāśālmalisaṃvāde ṣaṭpañcāśadadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
至此,在《圣摩诃婆罗多》之《寂静篇》(Śānti Parva)中——尤指论“困厄之法”(Āpaddharma Parva)之段——于“风神帕瓦那(Pavana)与娑罗摩梨树(Śālmalī)之对话”处,第一百五十六章告终。此为章末题记(colophon),用以标示本章结束,并将其关于逆境中行持之义理置于全篇教诲之中。
भीष्म उवाच
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it frames the teaching as part of Āpaddharma—ethical reasoning for situations of crisis—delivered through the Pavana–Śālmalī dialogue, emphasizing that the chapter’s instruction belongs to the Mahābhārata’s broader program of dharma-guidance.
Bhīṣma’s discourse reaches a chapter boundary: the text formally closes the chapter by naming the larger book (Mahābhārata), the parva (Śānti), the sub-parva (Āpaddharma), and the embedded dialogue (Pavana and the Śālmalī tree), and by stating the chapter number.
