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 ||
Doon, matapos dalawin ang lahat ng mga banal na tawiran (tīrtha) at mga sagradong dambana, si Arjuna na makapangyarihan ang bisig ay nagtungo upang humarap sa hari ng lupain.

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.
