至此,《圣摩诃婆罗多》之《寂静篇》(Śānti Parva)中《解脱法门》(Mokṣadharma)部分,题为《因陀罗与普罗诃罗陀之对话》的第二百二十二章告终。此结尾题记标示此一教诲段落圆满,表明其旨趣在于导向解脱(mokṣa),并以洞见而非武力来化解冲突、成就伦理与灵性的和解。
प्रह्माद उवाच
As a chapter-colophon, the line itself does not state a doctrine; it signals that the preceding dialogue is framed as Mokṣadharma—teaching oriented toward liberation—presented through a reflective exchange between Indra and Prahlāda within the peace-centered Śānti Parva.
The text is concluding the chapter: it announces that the chapter titled “Indra and Prahlāda’s dialogue” has ended within the Mokṣadharma portion of Śānti Parva, functioning as an editorial/narrative closure rather than a spoken verse of argument.
