युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
तत्र मासं वसेद् धीरो नैमिषे तीर्थतत्पर: । पृथिव्यां यानि तीर्थानि तानि तीर्थानि नैमिषे,धीर पुरुष तीर्थसेवनमें तत्पर हो एक मासतक नैमिषमें निवास करे। पृथ्वीमें जितने तीर्थ हैं, वे सभी नैमिषमें विद्यमान हैं
tatra māsaṁ vased dhīro naimiṣe tīrthatatparaḥ | pṛthivyāṁ yāni tīrthāni tāni tīrthāni naimiṣe ||
Por ello, una persona firme y prudente, entregada a la peregrinación y a la observancia sagrada, debe morar en Naimiṣa durante un mes entero. Pues cualesquiera que sean los tīrtha—los vados santos—que existen sobre la tierra, todos se tienen por presentes en Naimiṣa; así, la estancia sincera y disciplinada allí reúne en una sola práctica el mérito de muchas peregrinaciones.
घुलस्त्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
Single-pointed devotion and disciplined residence at a supremely sacred place can concentrate the spiritual benefit of many pilgrimages; steadiness (dhīratā) and sincere tīrtha-oriented practice are emphasized over mere travel.
The speaker recommends that a wise pilgrim stay for one month at Naimiṣa, praising it as a uniquely comprehensive tīrtha where the sanctity of all earthly pilgrimage sites is believed to be present.
