Shloka 21
युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
त्वन्मुखं च जगत् सर्व भविष्यति न संशय: । तत्राभिगम्य राजेन्द्र पूजयित्वा वृषध्वजम्
tvanmukhaṃ ca jagat sarvaṃ bhaviṣyati na saṃśayaḥ | tatrābhigamya rājendra pūjayitvā vṛṣadhvajam |
وإنّ العالم كلَّه سيُولي وجهه نحوك يقينًا—لا ريب في ذلك. فاذهب إذن، يا خيرَ الملوك، إلى هناك؛ فإذا دنوتَ فاعبدْ وقرِّبْ القربانَ إلى فْرِشَذْفَجَ (شِيفا).
