त्वया हि तीर्थेषु पुरा समाप्लाव: कृतोडसकृत् । तपश्चेदं महत् तप्तं स्वर्ग गन्तासि पाण्डव,'पाण्डुनन्दन! तुमने पहले अनेक बार बहुत-से तीर्थोमें स्नान किया है और इस समय इस महान् तपका भी अनुष्ठान कर लिया है, अतः तुम स्वर्गलोकमें सशरीर जानेके अधिकारी हो गये हो
Translation
En verdad, antaño te sumergiste muchas veces en los tīrthas, y ahora has consumado esta gran austeridad. Por ello, oh hijo de Pāṇḍu, eres digno de ir al cielo con este mismo cuerpo.
