至此,在神圣的《摩诃婆罗多》中,于《优提瑜伽篇》之“安芭传说篇”(Ambā-upākhyāna)内,“罗摩(帕罗修罗摩)与毗湿摩之战”的篇章——即第一百八十二章——告终。此章末题记标示一段叙事的收束:它以义务、誓愿,以及武人职责所承载的道德重负,来映照毗湿摩的一生。
भीष्म उवाच
As a colophon, the line does not teach through direct instruction; it signals closure and highlights the ethical frame of the preceding episode—how vows, personal honor, and kṣatriya-dharma can generate unavoidable conflict, even among revered figures.
This is the chapter-ending colophon stating that the Ambā-upākhyāna episode—specifically the combat between Paraśurāma (Rāma) and Bhīṣma—has concluded, and it identifies the work (Mahābhārata), the parva (Udyoga), and the chapter number (182nd).
