युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
राजसूयाश्चदमेधाभ्यां फलं विन्दति मानव: । राजेन्द्र! तदनन्तर परम उत्तम ब्रह्मस्थानको जाय। महाराज! पुरुषोत्तम! वहाँ ब्रह्माजीके समीप जाकर मनुष्य राजसूय और अभश्वमेधयज्ञोंका फल पाता है
rājasūyāś ca aśvamedhābhyāṃ phalaṃ vindati mānavaḥ | rājendra! tad-anantaraṃ parama uttamaṃ brahma-sthānakaḥ jāyate | mahārāja! puruṣottama! tatra brahmājī-samīpaṃ gatvā manuṣyo rājasūya-aśvamedha-yajñayoḥ phalaṃ prāpnoti |
Ghūlastya said: “A human being attains the merit of the Rājasūya and the Aśvamedha sacrifices. O best of kings, thereafter he reaches the supremely excellent abode of Brahmā. O great king, O highest of men, by going into Brahmā’s presence there, one receives the full fruit of the Rājasūya and Aśvamedha rites.”
