Description of the Path of Meditation
इति श्रीमहाभारते शान्तिपर्वणि मोक्षधर्मपर्वणि भुगुभरद्वाजसंवादे जीवस्वरूपनिरूपणे सप्ताशीत्यधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi mokṣadharmaparvaṇi bhṛgubharadvājasaṃvāde jīvasvarūpanirūpaṇe saptāśītyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
如是，在《圣摩诃婆罗多》之《寂静篇》（Śānti Parva）中，尤以《解脱法》（Mokṣadharma）部分而言，于婆利古（Bhṛgu）与婆罗陀婆阇（Bharadvāja）之对话中，关于吉瓦（jīva，个体生命我）真实本性的考察与阐明，第一百八十八章至此终了。
भरद्वाज उवाच
Educational Q&A
The chapter is framed as an inquiry into jīva-svarūpa—what the individual self truly is—placing liberation-oriented understanding (mokṣa-dharma) above merely external action, and emphasizing discernment about the self’s essential nature.
This is a colophon-style closing line: it marks the conclusion of Adhyāya 188 in the Śānti Parva’s Mokṣa-dharma section, identifying the setting as a dialogue between the sages Bhṛgu and Bharadvāja and stating the chapter’s topic as the exposition of the jīva’s nature.
