至此，在《圣摩诃婆罗多》中，于《寂静篇》（Śānti Parvan）之内——尤其在论及困厄时之行持（Āpaddharma）一段——名为“尼利沙ṃ萨”（Nṛśaṃsa）之叙事的第一百六十四章告终。

Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon marking the close of a chapter within the Āpaddharma section of Śānti Parva, framing the preceding material as guidance on dharma under crisis and identifying the episode-title (“Nṛśaṃsa”) for contextual reading.
The text is not advancing the story but formally concluding the chapter: it locates the passage within Śānti Parva, within the Āpaddharma subsection, and names the chapter/episode as “Nṛśaṃsa,” indicating the end of the 164th adhyāya.
