Shloka 105
युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
उपस्पृश्य ततस्तत्र कक्षीवानिव मोदते । यक्षिण्या नैत्यकं तत्र प्राश्नीत पुरुष: शुचि:
upaspṛśya tatastatra kakṣīvān iva modate | yakṣiṇyā naityakaṃ tatra prāśnīt puruṣaḥ śuciḥ ||
وبعد أن أتى بطقس التطهّر برشف الماء (upaspṛśya)، ابتهج هناك ككَكْشِيفان (Kakṣīvān). وفي ذلك الموضع عينه تناول الرجلُ الطاهر «نَيْتْيَكَ» (naityaka)، وهو قربانُ الياكشيني—فعلاً مصوَّرًا على أنه صحيحٌ في الطقس ومضبوطٌ في الخُلُق، لا ترفًا ولا شَرَهًا.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic restraint through ritual correctness: before enjoying any offering, one should purify oneself (upaspṛśya) and partake in a manner consistent with prescribed rites, keeping pleasure subordinate to purity and propriety.
After performing a purificatory sip of water, the man—described as śuci (pure)—accepts and eats a ritual portion (naityaka) associated with the yakṣiṇī, and he becomes joyful, compared to the sage Kakṣīvān.
