Iti prakāraṃ Śrīmahābhārate Vanaparvaṇi antargate Draupadīharaṇaparvaṇi Durvāsāyāḥ kathāviṣayakaḥ dviśata-triṣaṣṭitamo 'dhyāyaḥ pūrṇaḥ.
至此，在《圣摩诃婆罗多》之《林居篇》（Vana Parva）中，关于德罗帕蒂被掳一节，叙述与杜尔婆娑（Durvāsā）相关故事的第二百六十三章告终。此结语标明该段落的完成，并将其置于更宏阔的论述之中：关于法（dharma）、考验，以及逆境中的行持。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse primarily signals completion, but it also frames the Durvāsā-related narrative as a discrete ethical unit within the forest-exile context—highlighting how episodes are organized to reflect dharma under pressure and the consequences of conduct.
This line is not part of the story’s action; it is an editorial/colophonic closure stating that the 263rd chapter, dealing with the Durvāsā-related account within the Draupadīharaṇa section of the Vana Parva, has concluded.
