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

ब्रह्मावर्त ततो गच्छेद्‌ ब्रह्म॒चारी समाहित: । अश्वमेधमवाप्रोति सोमलोकं च गच्छति,तदनन्तर ब्रह्मचर्यपालनपूर्वक चित्तको एकाग्र करके ब्रह्मावर्ततीर्थमें जाय। इससे वह अश्वमेधयज्ञका फल पाता और सोमलोकको जाता है

Brahmāvarta tato gacched brahmacārī samāhitaḥ | Aśvamedham avāpnoti somalokaṃ ca gacchati ||

Rồi sau đó, một brahmacārin có kỷ luật, tâm ý thu nhiếp và chuyên chú, hãy tiến đến miền thiêng Brahmāvarta. Nhờ vậy, người ấy đạt công đức ngang lễ tế Aśvamedha và về sau được đến cõi trời của Soma.

Educational Q&A

The verse elevates disciplined brahmacarya and mental concentration, presenting pilgrimage undertaken with inner restraint as capable of granting merit comparable to the highest Vedic sacrifice, and promising an exalted posthumous destination (Somaloka).

The speaker gives prescriptive guidance: a brahmacārin, composed and focused, should go to Brahmāvarta; the act is said to confer Aśvamedha-like merit and lead the practitioner to Somaloka.
