Pulastya’s Instruction
कौशिक्या: संगमे यस्तु दृषद्धत्याश्व भारत
kauśikyāḥ saṅgame yastu dṛṣaddhatyāśva bhārata
グーラースティヤ（Ghūlastya）は言った。「おお、バーラタ（Bhārata）よ。カウシキー（Kauśikī）の合流点――ドリシャッダティヤーシュヴァ（Dṛṣaddhatyāśva）にゆかりあるその地――に至る者は（説かれた功徳を得る）。」

Educational Q&A
The verse points to tīrtha-dharma: certain sacred locations—especially river confluences—are treated as ethically and spiritually potent spaces where disciplined visitation (with proper conduct) is believed to yield merit and purification.
In the Vana Parva’s pilgrimage context, the speaker Ghūlastya identifies a specific sacred site: the confluence of the Kauśikī, associated with the name Dṛṣaddhatyāśva, addressing the listener as ‘Bhārata’ while indicating the significance of going there.
