युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya

ततो विनशनं गच्छेत्‌ सर्वपापप्रमोचनम्‌ । वाजपेयमवाप्रोति सोमलोकं च गच्छति,तत्पश्चात्‌ सब पापोंसे छुड़ानेवाले विनशनतीर्थको जाय, जिससे मनुष्य वाजपेययज्ञका फल पाता और सोमलोकको जाता है

tato vinaśanaṃ gacchet sarvapāpapramocanam | vājapeyam avāpnoti somalokaṃ ca gacchati ||

ఆ తరువాత సమస్త పాపాలను తొలగించే వినశన తీర్థానికి వెళ్లాలి. అక్కడికి వెళ్లినవాడు వాజపేయ యజ్ఞఫలాన్ని పొందుతూ సోమలోకానికి చేరుతాడు.

Educational Q&A

The verse teaches that sincere pilgrimage to a sanctified tīrtha is a dharmic means of inner purification: it is praised as removing moral impurity (pāpa) and conferring merit comparable to a great Vedic sacrifice, culminating in an elevated posthumous destiny (Soma-loka).

The speaker continues a tīrtha-māhātmya sequence, directing the listener to go next to the sacred place called Vinaśana and stating the spiritual rewards of that visit—freedom from sins, Vājapeya-like merit, and attainment of Soma’s realm.
