至此，《圣摩诃婆罗多》之《寂静篇》（Śānti Parva）中，隶属“Gokṣa-dharma”一段、叙述名为“Ucchavṛttikā”的苦行法之譬喻故事的第三百五十三章告终。此结语题记标明该章以叙事为鉴所阐明之法（dharma）教诲已圆满毕竟。

The verse functions as a colophon, signaling the completion of a chapter whose ethical emphasis is dharma taught through an illustrative sub-tale (upākhyāna), here connected with the ascetic livelihood/practice termed ucchavṛttikā.
No new narrative action occurs; the text formally closes the chapter in the Śānti Parva, identifying its placement (within the Gokṣa-dharma section) and its subject (the ucchavṛttikā-related episode).
