Guru’s Instruction on Dream, Mind, Guṇas, and Knowing Brahman
Svapna–Manas–Guṇa–Brahma-vicāra
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत शान्तिपर्वके अन्तर्गत गोक्षधर्मपर्वमें भूमिके भीतर भगवान् वाराहकी क्रीड़ानामक दो सौ नवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
Iti prakāraṁ Śrīmahābhārate Śāntiparvaṇi antargate Gokṣadharmaparvaṇi bhūmikāyāṁ bhagavataḥ Varāhasya krīḍānāmakaḥ dviśata-navamaḥ adhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ abhavat.
至此,在《圣摩诃婆罗多》之《寂静篇》(Śānti Parva)中——尤指“Gokṣa-dharma”一段——此引言部分宣告第二百零九章圆满,章名为《主以婆罗诃(Varāha,野猪)之身的戏游(Līlā)》。 (此句为章末题记,用以正式标记本章结束。)
भीष्म उवाच
Although this line is primarily a colophon, it points to a key idea: the Lord’s incarnate actions (here, Varāha’s ‘play’) are not random but serve the maintenance of dharma and cosmic stability, inviting a devotional-ethical reading of divine intervention.
The text is marking closure: it announces that the 209th chapter—titled “Varāha’s Play”—within the Śānti Parva’s Gokṣa-dharma section has been completed, functioning as an editorial/end-of-chapter notice rather than a spoken narrative verse.
