至此，在《圣摩诃婆罗多》“寂静篇”之“解脱法”部中，第273章——名为《四问（及其答）》——告终。此结语（章末题记）表明一段教诲的完成：它以毗湿摩关于趋向解脱之达摩的开示为框架而展开。

Educational Q&A
This verse is a colophon rather than a doctrinal statement: it marks the completion of a Mokṣa-dharma teaching unit titled “Four Questions (and their Answers),” situating the instruction within Bhīṣma’s broader guidance on dharma oriented toward liberation.
The text formally closes the chapter: the narrator/editorial voice indicates that, within the Śānti Parva’s Mokṣa-dharma section, the 273rd chapter named “Catuḥpraśnika” has ended—signaling a transition to the next unit of Bhīṣma’s discourse.
