युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
सिन्धोश्व प्रभवं गत्वा सिद्धगन्धर्वसेवितम् । तत्रोष्य रजनी: पज्च विन्देद् बहुसुवर्णकम्,सिंधुके उदगमस्थानमें जो सिद्ध-गन्धर्वोद्वारा सेवित है, जाकर पाँच रात उपवास करनेसे प्रचुर सुवर्णराशिकी प्राप्ति होती है
Sindhoś ca prabhavaṁ gatvā siddhagandharvasevitam | tatroṣya rajanīḥ pañca vinded bahusuvarṇakam ||
Wika ni Ghūlastya: “Kapag nagtungo sa pinagmumulan ng Sindhu—isang banal na pook na dinadalaw at pinaglilingkuran ng mga Siddha at Gandharva—at nanatili roon nang limang gabi sa mahigpit na pagtalima, magkakamit siya ng saganang ginto.”

Educational Q&A
The verse links material gain to dharmic conduct: prosperity is portrayed as the result of pilgrimage and self-restraint (staying/observing for five nights at a sanctified site), emphasizing that wealth should arise from merit and discipline rather than harm or deceit.
Ghūlastya describes a specific tīrtha—the source of the Sindhu—honored by Siddhas and Gandharvas, and states the fruit of performing a five-night observance there: the pilgrim is said to obtain abundant gold.
