Yudhiṣṭhira’s Procession, Encampment (Niveśa), and Auspicious Timing for Ritual Action
तथा यथा55ह धर्मेण कथं वा भीम मन्यसे । “यदि तुमलोग उस धनको पर्याप्त समझो और उसे ले आनेकी अपनेमें सामर्थ्य देखो तो व्यासजीने जैसा कहा है, उसीके अनुसार धर्मतः उसे प्राप्त करनेका यत्न करो। अथवा भीमसेन! तुम बोलो, तुम्हारा इस सम्बन्धमें क्या विचार है?”
tathā yathā dharmeṇa kathaṃ vā bhīma manyase |
Вайшампаяна сказал: «Действуйте так, как согласуется с дхармой. Если вы считаете то богатство достаточным и видите в себе силу доставить его, то стремитесь обрести его праведно, в точности как наставил Вьяса. А если нет, Бхимасена, скажи: каково твоё суждение в этом деле?»

Educational Q&A
Even when pursuing wealth or a practical objective, one must act strictly through dharma—right means matter as much as the end. The passage also models ethical consultation: follow wise instruction (Vyāsa) and invite the strongest stakeholder (Bhīma) to state his considered judgment.
The narrator Vaiśampāyana frames a decision-point: if the group deems the proposed wealth adequate and believes they can obtain it, they should attempt to secure it in a righteous way as Vyāsa advised; otherwise, Bhīmasena is asked to give his opinion on the course of action.
