至此，《圣摩诃婆罗多》林居篇（Vana Parva）之那罗传（Nala-upākhyāna）第七十八章告终，叙述那罗王战胜补湿迦罗，并记载那罗返归本城的相关事迹。此一收束昭示：历经磨难之后，正当秩序得以复归——凭借坚忍、自制与守持达摩，王权与安定终被重新夺回。

The chapter-colophon emphasizes dharmic restoration: after suffering and error, steadfast effort and regained self-control lead to the re-establishment of rightful order—symbolized by Nala’s victory over Puṣkara and his return to kingship.
This is the concluding statement (colophon) marking the end of the seventy-eighth chapter of the Nalopākhyāna within Vana Parva, summarizing that Nala has defeated Puṣkara and that the narrative now concerns Nala’s return to his own city.
