至此,《圣摩诃婆罗多》之《寂静篇》(Śānti Parva)中《解脱法门》(Mokṣadharma)部分,在婆利古(Bhṛgu)与婆罗堕阇(Bharadvāja)对话的脉络下,阐明“众生个体之我”(jīva)真实本性的第一百八十七章告终。

The chapter’s stated focus is the clarification of the jīva’s true nature (svarūpa)—a Mokṣadharma theme that frames liberation as grounded in right understanding of the self rather than merely external action.
