至此，在《圣摩诃婆罗多》中，于《林书》（Vana Parva）之内，在论及德劳帕蒂（Draupadī）被掳之章段中，于杜尔瓦萨（Durvāsā）之副传（upākhyāna）里，第二百六十三章告终。此为章末题记（colophon），用以标明本章闭合，并将叙事安置于更宏阔的伦理框架之中——德劳帕蒂之危与困厄中品行之试炼；而杜尔瓦萨的到来，往往象征对待宾之礼、克制与达摩（dharma）的考验。

As a colophon, the verse primarily frames the episode: it highlights that the surrounding narrative concerns Draupadī’s crisis and Durvāsā’s episode, contexts in which dharma is tested—especially through restraint, right conduct, and the obligations of hospitality under pressure.
This line does not advance the plot; it formally closes the chapter and identifies its placement: in the Vana Parva, within the Draupadī-abduction section, specifically in the Durvāsā sub-episode, marking the end of the 263rd chapter.
