v1.c9.s8.56

³ Adhy. 191-196 = vss. 11063-11278. The passage is commended, in 11270 ff., as a great ornate poem (mahākāvyam). But verses 11082 ff. already say clearly that the Harivaṁśa *is concluded*, and that the story of Janamejaya's horse-sacrifice only forms *an appendix to the Harivaṁśa*. The subsequent sections are most probably only later additions.
