至此,《摩诃婆罗多》林居篇(Vana Parva)之那罗传(Nalopākhyāna)中,叙述那罗与达摩延提重逢的第七十七章告终。此结语表明叙事圆满、苦难之后正当秩序复归,并强调:坚忍与正直终将导向和解,使个人生活中的法(dharma)得以重建。
बृहदश्चव उवाच
As a colophon marking the chapter’s end, it underscores a key ethical arc of the Nalopākhyāna: after trials and moral testing, steadfastness and rightful conduct culminate in reconciliation and the reestablishment of dharma in relationships.
This line is a formal closing statement indicating that the seventy-seventh chapter of the Nalopākhyāna within the Vana Parva—focused on the reunion of Nala and Damayantī—has concluded.
