Pagkaraan ng paglalakbay nang isang araw at isang gabi, ang magkakapatid na Pāṇḍava—mga leon sa hanay ng tao—ay dumating sa banal na tawiran na tinatawag na Somāśrayāyaṇa sa pampang ng ilog Gaṅgā.

The verse highlights the dharmic value of seeking tīrthas: disciplined travel and arrival at a sacred place symbolize turning one’s effort toward purification, right conduct, and alignment with dharma.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that the Pāṇḍavas, after a continuous day-and-night journey, arrive at the Somāśrayāyaṇa tīrtha situated on the bank of the river Gaṅgā.
