युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
प्रदक्षिणमुपावृत्य गच्छेत भरतर्षभ । धारां नाम महाप्राज्ञ: सर्वपापप्रमोचनीम्,भरतश्रेष्ठ! तदनन्तर महाप्राज्ञ पुरुष उस तीर्थकी परिक्रमा करके धाराकी यात्रा करे, जो सब पापोंसे छुड़ानेवाली है
pradakṣiṇam upāvṛtya gacchet bharatarṣabha | dhārāṃ nāma mahāprajñaḥ sarvapāpapramocanīm ||
Ghūlastya dit : « Ô taureau parmi les Bhārata, après avoir accompli la pradakṣiṇā (la circumambulation révérencieuse) et être revenu sur ses pas, que le pèlerin avisé se rende au gué sacré nommé Dhārā, renommé pour délivrer de tout péché. »
