na teṣām āpadaḥ santi nādhayo vyādhayas tathā | ye tvān anyamanasaḥ kurvanty arcanavandanam, bhagavan ||

Yudhiṣṭhira said: “For those who, with no other thought, worship and bow to You, O Blessed Lord, there are no calamities; nor do they fall into inner anxieties or bodily diseases. Single-minded devotion to You becomes their protection and well-being.”

Educational Q&A

Single-minded devotion—expressed through worship (arcana) and reverent salutation (vandana)—is presented as a spiritual refuge that wards off misfortune and alleviates both mental distress and physical illness.

Yudhiṣṭhira addresses the Lord (bhagavān), praising the power of unwavering worship and asserting that those devoted with an undivided mind are not overcome by calamity, anxiety, or disease.
