'Thus, O great king, everything has been set forth to you, who asked, through the vision of the shastra, according to the truth; therefore attain peace. I have told of this world as it is seen, together with the path of its passing away; therefore be at ease, O Kaurava, concerning your son Duryodhana. Hearing this Bhumi-parva, pleasing to the mind, O best of the Bharatas, a kshatriya becomes glorious, attains his purpose, and gains the approval of the good; his life, strength, valor, and radiance increase. O guardian of the earth, the ancestors and grandsires are pleased with one who listens to this section with restraint. And this Bharata-varsha in which we dwell, and all the holy matter set forth before — all this you have now heard.'

The close of the Bhumi-parva turns cosmography into practical instruction. Knowledge of the world's arrangement is meant to bring not pride but peace, sobriety, and an understanding of the king's sacred responsibility toward the earth, the ancestors, and all beings.
