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

तेन तीर्थ कृतं पुण्यं स्वेन नाम्ना च विश्रुतम्‌ । तत्र स्नात्वा नरो राजन्‌ धर्मशील: समाहितः

tena tīrthaṃ kṛtaṃ puṇyaṃ svena nāmnā ca viśrutam | tatra snātvā naro rājan dharmaśīlaḥ samāhitaḥ ||

Chính Ngài đã lập nên một tīrtha linh thiêng, được tôn kính và nổi danh theo chính danh xưng của Ngài. Tâu Đại vương, người nào tắm gội tại đó, giữ vững hạnh dharma và tâm ý chuyên nhất, sẽ trở nên kiên định về đạo hạnh và an tĩnh nơi nội tâm.

Educational Q&A

The verse links outer ritual (bathing at a tīrtha) with inner ethics: true benefit is framed as becoming dharma-minded and mentally composed, not merely performing an act.

The speaker describes a particular holy place founded by a revered figure and famous by his name, then states the spiritual-ethical effect for a person who bathes there—especially one devoted to dharma and mental steadiness.
