Arjuna’s Account of Tapas and the Kirāta Test; Revelation of Maheśvara and the Grant of the Pāśupata-Astra
एवमुत्तमकर्माणमनुशिष्य युधिष्ठटिरम् । श्वेतं गिरिवरश्रेष्ठ प्रययौं गुह्ुकाधिप:,इस प्रकार उत्तम कर्म करनेवाले युधिष्ठिरको उपदेश देकर यक्षराज कुबेर गिरिश्रेष्ठ कैलासको चले गये
vaiśampāyana uvāca |
evam uttama-karmāṇam anuśiṣya yudhiṣṭhiram |
śvetaṁ girivara-śreṣṭhaṁ prayayau guhyakādhipaḥ ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。「このように、最上のダルマの行いに励むユディシュティラを諭し終えると、グヒヤカの主クベーラは、群山第一のシュヴェータ(カイラーサ)へと旅立った。」
वैशम्पायन उवाच
That the highest dharma is learned through disciplined instruction and then lived through ‘uttama-karman’—exemplary conduct. The divine teacher (Kubera) affirms Yudhiṣṭhira’s orientation to righteous action and leaves after completing the moral guidance.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Kubera, having given counsel to Yudhiṣṭhira, departs to Śveta—the श्रेष्ठ mountain identified in context with Kailāsa—signaling the close of a didactic encounter and a return to the divine realm.
