युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya

उपस्पृश्य ततस्तत्र कक्षीवानिव मोदते । यक्षिण्या नैत्यकं तत्र प्राश्नीत पुरुष: शुचि:

upaspṛśya tatastatra kakṣīvān iva modate | yakṣiṇyā naityakaṃ tatra prāśnīt puruṣaḥ śuciḥ ||

Sau khi làm nghi thức thanh tẩy bằng cách nhấp nước (upaspṛśya), người ấy vui mừng tại đó như Kakṣīvān. Ngay tại nơi ấy, người thanh sạch thọ dùng lễ vật naityaka của Yakṣiṇī—một hành vi được đặt trong khuôn phép nghi lễ và tiết độ đạo đức, chứ không phải sự hưởng thụ buông thả.

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights dharmic restraint through ritual correctness: before enjoying any offering, one should purify oneself (upaspṛśya) and partake in a manner consistent with prescribed rites, keeping pleasure subordinate to purity and propriety.

After performing a purificatory sip of water, the man—described as śuci (pure)—accepts and eats a ritual portion (naityaka) associated with the yakṣiṇī, and he becomes joyful, compared to the sage Kakṣīvān.
