युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
ततो गच्छेत राजेन्द्र चम्पकारण्यमुत्तमम् | तत्रोष्य रजनीमेकां गोसहस्रफलं लभेत्,राजेन्द्र! तदनन्तर उत्तम चम्पकारण्य (चम्पारन)-की यात्रा करे। वहाँ एक रात निवास करनेसे तीर्थयात्रीको सहस्र गोदानका फल मिलता है
tato gacchet rājendra campakāraṇyam uttamam | tatroṣya rajanīm ekāṁ gosahasraphalaṁ labhet, rājendra ||
ついで、王の中の最勝者よ、すぐれたチャンパカーラニヤ(Campakāraṇya)へ進むべきである。そこで一夜を過ごせば、王よ、巡礼者は千頭の牛を施すに等しい功徳を得る――かくして聖なる旅は、節度ある行路と敬虔な逗留によって正しき功徳を増し広げる力ゆえに讃えられる。
घुलस्त्य उवाच
The verse teaches that disciplined pilgrimage and reverent residence at a sacred place can yield great spiritual merit, here expressed as the fruit equal to donating a thousand cows—encouraging dharmic effort through tirtha-yatra.
The speaker instructs the addressed king on the next step of a pilgrimage itinerary: go to the sacred Campakāraṇya and stay one night; doing so grants the pilgrim the stated merit (gosahasra-phala).
