युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
तेषूपस्पृश्य राजेन्द्र पदेषु नृपसत्तम । यत् किंचिदशुभं कर्म तत् प्रणश्यति भारत
teṣūpaspr̥śya rājendra padeṣu nr̥pasattama | yat kiñcid aśubhaṁ karma tat praṇaśyati bhārata ||
ହେ ରାଜେନ୍ଦ୍ର, ହେ ନୃପସତ୍ତମ, ସେହି ପଦଚିହ୍ନଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ସ୍ପର୍ଶ କଲେ ମନୁଷ୍ୟର ଯେ କିଛି ଅଶୁଭ କର୍ମ ଅବଶିଷ୍ଟ ଥାଏ, ସେ ସବୁ ନଶିଯାଏ, ହେ ଭାରତ।

A speaker addresses a great king (Bhārata) and explains the spiritual efficacy of touching certain revered footprints—implying a sacred site or holy mark—assuring that such an act removes remaining inauspicious karmic residue.
