Sāṃkhya–Yoga Clarification
इस प्रकार श्रीमहाभारत शान्तिपर्वके अन्तर्गत मोक्षधर्मपर्वमें पराशरगीताविषयक दो सौ चौरानबेवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ
Iti prakāraṁ Śrīmahābhārata-Śāntiparva-ke antargata Mokṣadharmaparva-meṁ Parāśaragītā-viṣayaka do sau caurānabevāṁ adhyāya pūrā huā.
至此,《圣摩诃婆罗多》之《寂静篇》(Śānti Parva)中“解脱法门”(Mokṣa-dharma)部分,以“波罗舍罗歌”(Parāśara-gītā)为题之第二百九十四章告终。此为卷末题记(colophon),标示本章关于解脱与正行之教诲论述已圆满。
पराशर उवाच
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals the completion of a chapter whose subject is the Parāśara-gītā within the Mokṣadharma portion of Śānti Parva, framing the discourse as oriented toward liberation (mokṣa) and ethical-spiritual instruction.
The text is formally closing the chapter: it identifies the larger work (Mahābhārata), the parva (Śānti), the internal section (Mokṣadharma), and the chapter’s topic (Parāśara-gītā), indicating that the chapter has concluded.
