युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
तत्र संध्यामुपासीत ब्राह्मण: संशितव्रतः । तेन ह्युपास्ता भवति संध्या द्वादशवार्षिकी
tatra sandhyām upāsīta brāhmaṇaḥ saṃśitavrataḥ | tena hy upāstā bhavati sandhyā dvādaśavārṣikī ||
ਉੱਥੇ ਦ੍ਰਿੜ੍ਹ ਵਰਤ ਵਾਲਾ ਬ੍ਰਾਹਮਣ ਸੰਧਿਆ-ਉਪਾਸਨਾ ਕਰੇ। ਇਸ ਨਾਲ ਉਸ ਦੀ ਬਾਰਾਂ ਸਾਲਾਂ ਦੀ ਸੰਧਿਆ-ਸੇਵਾ ਪੂਰੀ ਹੋਈ ਮੰਨੀ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ।
घुलस्त्य उवाच
Steady daily religious discipline—especially Sandhyā worship performed with firm vows—is praised as highly meritorious, even being treated as equivalent to a long span (twelve years) of continuous observance.
The speaker instructs that in a particular sacred context/place, a disciplined Brahmin should perform Sandhyā worship; the text then states the extraordinary spiritual credit gained by that act.
