युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
ततो गच्छेत धर्मज्ञ तीर्थसेवनतत्पर: । शिखर वै महादेव्या गौयस्त्रिलोक्यविश्रुतम्,धर्मज्ञ! तदनन्तर तीर्थसेवनमें तत्पर मानव महादेवी गौरीके शिखरपर जाय, जो तीनों लोकोंमें विख्यात है
tato gacchet dharmajña tīrthasevanatatparaḥ | śikharaṃ vai mahādevyā gauri yastrilokyaviśrutam ||
అనంతరం, హే ధర్మజ్ఞా! తీర్థసేవలో నిమగ్నుడైనవాడు త్రిలోకప్రసిద్ధమైన మహాదేవి గౌరీ శిఖరానికి వెళ్లవలెను.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that pilgrimage (tīrtha-sevana) should be undertaken with dharma-awareness and steady intent. The seeker is urged to move purposefully from sacred place to sacred place, approaching renowned divine sites—here, Gaurī’s peak—as part of ethical self-cultivation and purification.
A speaker gives itinerary-style guidance within a tīrtha-yātrā context, directing the dharma-knowing pilgrim to proceed next to the famous summit associated with the Great Goddess Gaurī, celebrated across the three worlds.
