至此，《圣摩诃婆罗多》之《寂静篇》（Śānti Parva）中，名为“牛叉法篇”（Gokṣa-dharma Parva）之部，关于乌阇诃弗哩底迦（Ujjhavṛttikā）譬喻故事（upākhyāna）的第三百五十七章告终。此结尾题记昭示该章教诲已毕，并以伦理范例之形，嵌入更宏阔的达摩论述之中。

Educational Q&A
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: its function is to mark the completion of a chapter and to identify its placement (Śānti Parva → Gokṣa-dharma section) and its subject (the Ujjhavṛttikā exemplum). The ethical import is indirect: it frames the preceding material as dharma-instruction delivered through an illustrative tale.
No new narrative event occurs here. The text formally closes the chapter, stating that the chapter dealing with the Ujjhavṛttikā upākhyāna within the Gokṣa-dharma section of Śānti Parva has concluded.
