至此，在《圣摩诃婆罗多》中，于《寂静篇》（Śānti Parvan）之内、尤以《厄难法篇》（Āpaddharma Parvan，困厄之时的法）为其所摄，叙述“达摩”（Dama）事迹的第一百六十章告终。此章末题记标示一段训诫之文的圆满，昭示前文旨在教人于逆境之中守持正行。

Educational Q&A
As a chapter-colophon, the verse itself teaches by framing: it signals that the preceding material belongs to Āpaddharma—ethical reasoning for times of crisis—implying that dharma is context-sensitive and must be applied with discernment under adversity.
Vaiśampāyana’s narration reaches a formal close for the unit: the account concerning Dama within the Āpaddharma section of the Śānti Parvan is concluded, and the text marks the completion of the 160th chapter.
