तीर्थयात्रा ततः पर्व कुरुराजस्य धीमतः । जटासुरवध: पर्व यक्षयुद्धमत: परम्,तदनन्तर बुद्धिमान् कुरुराजका तीर्थयात्रापर्व, जटासुरवधपर्व और उसके बाद यक्षयुद्धपर्व है
tīrthayātrā tataḥ parva kururājasya dhīmataḥ | jaṭāsuravadhaḥ parva yakṣayuddham ataḥ param |
তাৰ পাছত বুদ্ধিমান কুৰুৰাজৰ তীৰ্থযাত্ৰা-পৰ্ব আহে। তাৰ পিছত জটাসুৰ-বধ-পৰ্ব, আৰু তাৰ পাছত যক্ষ-যুদ্ধ-পৰ্ব।

Educational Q&A
Dharma is shown as multi-dimensional: a ruler’s virtue is expressed through reverence for sacred places (tīrthayātrā), courage and responsibility in protecting others (jaṭāsuravadha), and steadiness when confronted by powerful non-human forces (yakṣayuddha).
This verse functions as a table-of-contents marker, listing the next sections in sequence: the Kuru king’s pilgrimage, the episode of Jaṭāsura’s slaying, and then the battle involving Yakṣas.
