युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
ईप्सिताल्लँभते कामानुपवासान्न संशय: । ततस्तु वामनं गत्वा सर्वपापप्रमोचनम्
īpsitāl labhate kāmān upavāsān na saṁśayaḥ | tataḥ tu vāmanaṁ gatvā sarvapāpapramocanam ||
Ghūlastya dit : « Par le jeûne, l’homme obtient à coup sûr les désirs qu’il recherche — il n’y a là aucun doute. Ensuite, après être allé à Vāmana-tīrtha, qui délivre de tous les péchés, qu’il poursuive sa marche de pèlerinage. »

Educational Q&A
Religious discipline—especially fasting—combined with pilgrimage to purifying sacred sites is presented as a reliable means to fulfill worthy aims and to cleanse moral faults; the verse underscores certainty (na saṁśayaḥ) in the efficacy of such dharmic observances.
A speaker (Ghūlastya) is describing the fruits of specific vows and pilgrimage steps: first the assured benefit of fasting for attaining desired outcomes, and then the instruction to proceed to Vāmana-tīrtha, characterized as a place that removes all sins.
