युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
तत्र स्नात्वा नरव्यात्र न शोचति नराधिप । नरव्याप्र! नराधिप! वहाँ स्नान करके मनुष्य कभी शोकमें नहीं पड़ता
tatra snātvā naravyātra na śocati narādhipa | naravyāpra! narādhipa! vahāṁ snāna karake manuṣya kabhī śokameṁ nahīṁ paṛtā |
ఘూలస్త్యుడు పలికెను—నరవ్యాఘ్రా! నరాధిపా! అక్కడ స్నానం చేసినవాడు ఇక శోకంలో పడడు.
