भृगु–भरद्वाजसंवादः: वर्णभेदस्य कर्माधारितव्याख्या

Bhrigu–Bharadvaja Dialogue: A Karma-Based Account of Varṇa

तदनन्तर काश्यपने इन्द्रदेवका पूजन किया और उनकी आज्ञा लेकर वे पुनः अपने घरको लौट गये ।। इति श्रीमहाभारते शान्तिपर्वणि मोक्षधर्मपर्वणि शृुगालकाश्यपसंवादे अशीत्यधिकशततमो<ध्याय:

此后,迦叶波礼拜因陀罗天;得其许可,众人复归自家。至此,《摩诃婆罗多》之《寂静篇》(Śānti Parva)“解脱法”(Mokṣadharma)部中,豺与迦叶波对话一章——第一百八十章(按另一计数为第一百八十一章)——宣告终了。

Educational Q&A

The closing action underscores dharmic conduct: one should honor the divine or worthy authority, seek and receive proper permission, and then proceed—suggesting that humility, reverence, and orderly completion of duties frame ethical life even after profound instruction.

The episode concludes: Kāśyapa performs worship of Indradevaka, receives his consent/command, and then the participants return to their home, with the colophon marking the end of the chapter within the Śṛgāla–Kāśyapa dialogue in Mokṣadharma.
