Adhyāya 353 — Kathā-prāmāṇya (Authority of Transmission) and the Brāhmaṇa’s Ascetic Resolve
इति श्रीमहाभारते शान्तिपर्वणि मोक्षधर्मपर्वणि नारायणीयसमाप्तौ एकपज्चाशदधिकत्रिशततमो<5 ध्याय:
iti śrīmahābhārate śāntiparvaṇi mokṣadharmaparvaṇi nārāyaṇīyasamāptau ekapañcāśadadhikatrizatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ |
如是,在《圣摩诃婆罗多》中,于《寂静篇》(Śānti Parva)之内,尤在《解脱法门》(Mokṣa-dharma)一部,此处即为《那罗延尼耶》(Nārāyaṇīya,宣说那罗延之伟大)之终结。至此,第三百五十一章告毕,作为对那罗延荣耀及其解脱旨趣的收束总括。
पितामह उवाच
This is a colophon marking the completion of the Nārāyaṇīya within Mokṣa-dharma: it underscores that contemplation of Nārāyaṇa’s greatness and the associated dharma is presented as spiritually liberating and ethically grounding.
The text signals the formal end of a chapter/section: within Śānti Parva’s Mokṣa-dharma portion, the Nārāyaṇīya discourse has concluded, and the chapter count is stated.
