At US Immigration if stamping done says until xyz date, does it mean leave the country by that date or reach home country by that date

I am on visitors visa to USA from India . At the immigration in USA , the stamping was done and on it was written "until mon 02 2019" (as I told the offficial my return ticket is on 25th february 2019) . My doubt is does this mean I should reach India by 25th february or leave usa by 25th february..??

As per my return ticket, I’ll start from U.S on 25th february and reach India on 27th February .

Thank you for your time and patience .
