वैशम्पायन उवाच
This line is a colophon rather than a doctrinal verse: it signals the completion of a chapter devoted to Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s discourse within the Rājadharma (royal duty) teachings, framing the material as guidance on ethical governance and dharma.
The narrator marks the end of the fiftieth chapter in this instructional section of the Śānti Parva, formally closing the unit that treats Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s statements as its subject.
