तीर्थयात्रा: सागरतीर्थ-शूर्पारक-प्रभासगमनम्
Pilgrimage to Sea Tīrthas, Śūrpāraka, and Prabhāsa
तेषूपवासान् विबुधानुपोष्य दत्त्वा च रत्नानि महान्ति राजा । तीर्थेषु सर्वेषु परिप्लुताड़: पुन: स शूर्पारकमाजगाम,उन तीर्थोंके निकट निवास करनेवाले दिद्वान् ब्राह्मणोंको वस्त्राभूषणोंसे आच्छादित एवं विभूषित करके उन्हें बहुमूल्य रत्नोंकी भेंट दे वहाँके सभी तीर्थोमें सनान करके महाराज युधिष्ठिर पुनः शूर्परिक-क्षेत्रमें लौट आये
teṣūpavāsān vibudhān upoṣya dattvā ca ratnāni mahānti rājā | tīrtheṣu sarveṣu pariplutāḍyaḥ punaḥ sa śūrpārakam ājagāma ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。「それらの聖地の近くに住む学識あるバラモンたちを、王はしかるべく敬い、彼らの断食（ウパヴァーサ）の間は扶持し、衣と装身具を与え、さらに貴重な宝玉を贈った。ついで王はすべてのティールタにて沐浴し、再びシュールパーラカ（Śūrpāraka）の地へと帰還した。」

The verse highlights dharmic kingship: a ruler gains moral and spiritual prosperity by honoring learned Brahmins, supporting religious observances, giving generous gifts, and undertaking tīrtha-bathing with reverence—linking personal purification with social responsibility (dāna and service).
After visiting sacred sites, the king supports the local learned Brahmins—providing clothing/ornaments and valuable gems—bathes at all the tīrthas, and then returns to the region of Śūrpāraka, having completed the pilgrimage rites.
