तत्र सर्वाणि तीर्थानि पुण्यान्यायतनानि च । अभिगम्य महाबाहुरभ्यगच्छन्महीपतिम्,वहाँके सम्पूर्ण तीर्थों और पवित्र मन्दिरोंमें जानेके बाद महाबाहु अर्जुन मणिपूरनरेशके पास गये
tatra sarvāṇi tīrthāni puṇyāny āyatanāni ca | abhigamya mahābāhur abhyagacchan mahīpatim ||
ณ ที่นั้น ครั้นได้ไปยังทิรถะทั้งปวงและสถานศักดิ์สิทธิ์อันเป็นมงคลแล้ว อรชุนผู้มีพาหาใหญ่จึงเสด็จไปเฝ้ากษัตริย์แห่งแผ่นดินนั้น

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights a dharmic ethic of preparation: one seeks spiritual merit and inner purity through visiting tīrthas and holy sanctuaries before engaging in significant social or political encounters, suggesting that reverence and self-discipline should precede worldly dealings.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Arjuna, having toured the sacred pilgrimage sites and shrines in that region, then proceeds to approach the local king—understood in this episode as the ruler of Maṇipura.
