至此，在尊贵的《摩诃婆罗多》中，于《寂静篇》（Śānti Parva）之内、尤在“解脱法”（Mokṣa-dharma）一部，叙及与达克沙（Dakṣa）相关的传说所讲述的《湿婆千名赞》（Śiva-sahasranāma）之第二百八十四章告终。此结语之式，标示一段以虔敬与伦理为旨归的教诲圆满，强调敬仰、内在净化，以及以神圣赞颂求取解脱之道。

Educational Q&A
The chapter’s colophon indicates a teaching unit centered on Śiva’s sahasranāma (thousand names), presenting devotion and sacred praise as a dharmic means for inner purification and orientation toward mokṣa (liberation), consistent with the Mokṣa-dharma section of Śānti Parva.
This is the formal closing statement of the chapter: it announces that the Mahābhārata’s Śānti Parva, within the Mokṣa-dharma portion, has concluded a chapter whose subject is the Śiva-sahasranāma hymn, connected with an account involving Dakṣa.
