Saṁyamanī is described as the abode/city of Lord Yama, the cosmic administrator of justice; in this verse Arjuna goes there swiftly by resorting to mystic power.
In the narrative context, a brāhmaṇa’s grievance and curse prompts Arjuna to act; he sets out to seek the missing children and thus travels even to Yama’s realm to search and inquire.
It highlights urgency and responsibility: when duty calls—especially in service to the Lord and His devotees—one should act decisively, using one’s best abilities in a dharmic way.
