युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
कृताभिषेकस्तत्रैव नियतो नियताशन: । गवां मेधस्य यज्ञस्य फल प्राप्नोति भारत,भारत! जो वहाँ स्नान करके नियमपालनपूर्वक नियमित भोजन करता है, वह गोमेधयज्ञका फल पाता है
kṛtābhiṣekas tatraiva niyato niyatāśanaḥ | gavāṁ medhasya yajñasya phalaṁ prāpnoti bhārata ||
おおバーラタ（Bhārata）よ。そこで定められた沐浴の儀を行い、戒めを守って規律正しく暮らし、食をも節して摂る者は、ガヴァーン・メーダ（Gavāṁ-medha）の祭祀に等しい果（phala）を得る。

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that disciplined observance—ritual purity (bathing), restraint, and regulated eating—can confer the same religious merit as an elaborate sacrifice, emphasizing inner discipline and ethical self-control as powerful means of dharmic attainment.
A speaker (here attributed as “ghulastya”) describes the spiritual benefit of performing prescribed rites at a sacred spot: by bathing there and maintaining vows with regulated food, a person gains the fruit of the Gavāṁ-medha sacrifice.
