युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
ततो गच्छेत राजेन्द्र चम्पकारण्यमुत्तमम् | तत्रोष्य रजनीमेकां गोसहस्रफलं लभेत्
tato gacchet rājendra campakāraṇyam uttamam | tatroṣya rajanīm ekāṁ gosahasraphalaṁ labhet, rājendra ||
پھر، اے راجندر، بہترین چمپکارنْیَ کی طرف جائے۔ وہاں ایک رات قیام کرنے سے یاتری کو ہزار گایوں کے دان کے برابر ثواب ملتا ہے۔

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that disciplined pilgrimage and reverent residence at a sacred place can yield great spiritual merit, here expressed as the fruit equal to donating a thousand cows—encouraging dharmic effort through tirtha-yatra.
The speaker instructs the addressed king on the next step of a pilgrimage itinerary: go to the sacred Campakāraṇya and stay one night; doing so grants the pilgrim the stated merit (gosahasra-phala).
