युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
अभिगम्य हरिं देवं न दुर्गतिमवाप्नुयात् । कुशिकस्याश्रमं गच्छेत् सर्वपापप्रमोचनम्
abhigamya hariṃ devaṃ na durgatim avāpnuyāt | kuśikasyāśramaṃ gacchet sarvapāpapramocanam ||
جو شخص دیوتا ہری کے حضور پہنچتا ہے وہ کبھی بد انجامی (دُرگتی) میں نہیں پڑتا۔ اس کے بعد اسے کُشِک کے آشرم کی یاترا کرنی چاہیے، جو تمام گناہوں سے رہائی دینے والا ہے۔
घुलस्त्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that approaching and beholding Hari (Viṣṇu) protects one from durgati (moral/spiritual downfall), and that visiting the Kuśika hermitage is a means of comprehensive purification—framing devotion and pilgrimage as practical supports for dharmic living.
A speaker is recommending a sequence of sacred actions within a tīrtha-yātrā context: first, go near Hari for darśana, which prevents misfortune/evil destiny; then proceed to Kuśika’s hermitage, celebrated as a place that frees one from all sins.
