Jñāna-yoga and Karma-phala: Manu–Bṛhaspati on Akṣara and the Limits of Mantra
इति श्रीमहाभारते शान्तिपर्वणि मोक्षधर्मपर्वणि भीष्मयुधिष्ठटिर संवादे आचारविधौ त्रिनवत्यधिकशततमो<ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi mokṣadharmaparvaṇi bhīṣma-yudhiṣṭhira-saṃvāde ācāravidhau tri-navaty-adhika-śatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ
至此,在《圣摩诃婆罗多》的《寂静篇》中——尤指“解脱法”之部——于毗湿摩与由提施提罗的对话里,关于正行规制(阿阇罗之法)的篇章告终:第一百九十三章。
भीष्म उवाच
This line functions as a colophon marking the close of a chapter devoted to ācāra (right conduct). Its ethical emphasis is that dharma is to be learned and transmitted through structured instruction—here, Bhīṣma’s authoritative teaching to Yudhiṣṭhira within the Mokṣa-dharma framework.
The text is concluding a chapter in the Śānti Parvan. Bhīṣma, speaking to Yudhiṣṭhira, has been expounding the discipline of proper conduct; this closing formula identifies the work, the parvan/section, the interlocutors, the topic (ācāravidhi), and the chapter number.
