युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
ततो गच्छेत राजेन्द्र चम्पकारण्यमुत्तमम् | तत्रोष्य रजनीमेकां गोसहस्रफलं लभेत्
tato gacchet rājendra campakāraṇyam uttamam | tatroṣya rajanīm ekāṁ gosahasraphalaṁ labhet, rājendra ||
Kemudian, wahai raja terbaik, pergilah ke Campakāraṇya yang mulia. Dengan bermalam satu malam di sana, peziarah memperoleh pahala setara dengan sedekah seribu ekor sapi.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that disciplined pilgrimage and reverent residence at a sacred place can yield great spiritual merit, here expressed as the fruit equal to donating a thousand cows—encouraging dharmic effort through tirtha-yatra.
The speaker instructs the addressed king on the next step of a pilgrimage itinerary: go to the sacred Campakāraṇya and stay one night; doing so grants the pilgrim the stated merit (gosahasra-phala).
