यज्ञवाटवैभववर्णनम् / Description of the Splendour of the Sacrificial Enclosure

विशश्राम महाबाहुस्तीरं लब्ध्वेव पारग: । उन सबने मिलकर अर्जुनका बड़ा स्वागत-सत्कार किया। महाबाहु अर्जुनने भी उनका विधिपूर्वक आदर-सत्कार करके उसी तरह विश्राम किया, जैसे समुद्रके पार जानेकी इच्छावाला पुरुष किनारेपर पहुँचकर विश्राम करता है

viśaśrāma mahābāhus tīraṁ labdhveva pāragāḥ |

Yudhiṣṭhira said: Having reached the shore, the mighty-armed one rested—like a traveler who, intent on crossing the ocean, finds firm land and pauses in relief. In the same spirit, after all had together offered Arjuna a warm reception and honor, Arjuna too duly returned their respect and then took rest, embodying the ethic of mutual courtesy and proper conduct after arduous endeavor.
