Damayantī’s Dialogue with Bāhuka; Recognition and Disclosure
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत वनपववके अन्तर्गत नलोपाख्यानपर्वमें ऋतुपर्णका राजा भीमके नगरमें प्रवेशविषयक तिहत्तरवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ

至此，《圣摩诃婆罗多》森林篇（Vana Parva）之那罗传（Nalopākhyāna）中，叙述卢图帕尔那王进入毗摩之城的第七十三章圆满结束。此结语宣示叙事的转折：一位君王步入另一位君王的疆域——在史诗伦理中，此举关涉礼制、款待之道，以及统治者对宾客与使者所负的职责。

Educational Q&A
As a colophon, the verse primarily marks completion rather than giving a direct moral injunction; implicitly it highlights epic values around royal conduct—entry into another ruler’s city invokes dharma of proper protocol and the host’s duty of hospitality.
The text announces the end of the seventy-third chapter of the Nalopākhyāna within the Vana Parva, whose subject is King Ṛtuparṇa’s entry into Bhīma’s city, and signals a transition to the next chapter.
