युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya

ते यान्ति नरशार्दूल शक्रलोकमनामयम्‌ । तत्राश्रमो वसिष्ठस्य त्रिषु लोकेषु विश्रुत:,तदनन्तर त्रिलोकविख्यात निश्चीरा नदीकी यात्रा करे। इससे अश्वमेधयज्ञका फल प्राप्त होता है और तीर्थयात्री पुरुष भगवान्‌ विष्णुके लोकमें जाता है। नरश्रेष्ठ जो मानव निश्वीरासंगममें दान देते हैं, वे रोग-शोकसे रहित इन्द्रलोकमें जाते हैं। वहीं तीनों लोकोंमें विख्यात वसिष्ठ-आश्रम है

te yānti naraśārdūla śakralokam anāmayam | tatrāśramo vasiṣṭhasya triṣu lokeṣu viśrutaḥ ||

«يا نمرَ الرجال، إنهم يمضون إلى عالمِ شَكْرَا الخالي من المرض. وهناك تقومُ صومعةُ فاسيشثا، مشهورةً في العوالم الثلاثة.»

Educational Q&A

Pilgrimage to sacred places and charitable giving are presented as powerful dharmic acts that purify the doer and yield exalted results—freedom from suffering and attainment of higher worlds—while honoring the sanctity of sages and their āśramas.

A speaker describes the spiritual outcome of visiting a particular tīrtha (connected with the Niścīrā confluence) and points to the celebrated hermitage of the sage Vasiṣṭha there, stating that meritorious pilgrims attain Indra’s world, free from disease and grief.
