Bhīma’s Entry into Kubera’s Nalinī and the Taking of Saugandhika Lotuses (सौगन्धिकोत्पल-ग्रहणम्)
परिष्वक्तस्य तस्याशु भ्रात्रा भीमस्य भारत । श्रमो नाशमुपागच्छत् सर्व चासीत् प्रदक्षिणम्,भारत! भाईका आलिंगन प्राप्त होनेपर भीमसेनकी सारी थकावट तत्काल नष्ट हो गयी और सब कुछ उन्हें अनुकूल प्रतीत होने लगा
pariṣvaktasya tasyāśu bhrātrā bhīmasya bhārata | śramo nāśamupāgacchat sarvaṃ cāsīt pradakṣiṇam ||
Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: O Bhārata, nang yakapin si Bhīma ng kanyang kapatid, naglaho agad ang lahat ng kanyang pagod, at ang lahat ng bagay ay nagmistulang pabor at mapalad para sa kanya.

The verse underscores the ethical and psychological power of familial support: sincere affection and reassurance can dispel exhaustion and restore a sense of auspicious direction, enabling one to face adversity with renewed steadiness.
Bhīma is embraced by his brother; immediately his weariness disappears, and he feels that circumstances have turned favorable—an emotional turning point conveyed by the word ‘pradakṣiṇam’ (auspicious, going well).
