Shloka 146
युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
अग्निधारां समासाद्य त्रिषु लोकेषु विश्रुताम्
agnidhārāṁ samāsādya triṣu lokeṣu viśrutām
Nang marating ang Agnidhārā—na bantog sa tatlong daigdig—itinuturo ng nagsasalita ang isang banal at malawak na kinikilalang pook; ipinahihiwatig na ang paglapit sa gayong tanyag na tīrtha ay isa nang kabutihang-gawa at pintuang patungo sa matuwid na asal at paglilinis.
