युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
ततो विशल्यामासाद्य नदी त्रैलोक्यविश्रुताम् । अग्निष्टोममवाप्रोति स्वर्गलोक॑ च गच्छति,तत्पश्चात् त्रिलोकीमें विख्यात विशल्या नदीके तटपर जाकर स्नान करे। इससे वह अग्निष्टोमयज्ञका फल पाता और स्वर्गलोकमें जाता है
tato viśalyām āsādya nadīṁ trailokyaviśrutām | agniṣṭomam avāpnoti svargalokaṁ ca gacchati ||
Depois, ao alcançar o rio Viśalyā, célebre nos três mundos, deve-se banhar em sua margem. Por esse ato obtém-se o mérito do sacrifício Agniṣṭoma e vai-se ao mundo celeste.
