परिष्वक्तस्य तस्याशु भ्रात्रा भीमस्य भारत । श्रमो नाशमुपागच्छत् सर्व चासीत् प्रदक्षिणम्
pariṣvaktasya tasyāśu bhrātrā bhīmasya bhārata | śramo nāśamupāgacchat sarvaṃ cāsīt pradakṣiṇam ||
ໂອ ພາຣະຕະ! ເມື່ອ ພີມະ ໄດ້ຮັບການກອດຈາກພີ່ນ້ອງຂອງຕົນ ຄວາມເມື່ອຍລ້າທັງປວງກໍມອດຫາຍໄປທັນທີ ແລະທຸກສິ່ງກໍປາກົດວ່າເປັນມົງຄຸນ ແລະເປັນໄປຕາມປາຖະໜາຂອງລາວ.

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores the ethical and psychological power of familial support: sincere affection and reassurance can dispel exhaustion and restore a sense of auspicious direction, enabling one to face adversity with renewed steadiness.
Bhīma is embraced by his brother; immediately his weariness disappears, and he feels that circumstances have turned favorable—an emotional turning point conveyed by the word ‘pradakṣiṇam’ (auspicious, going well).
