Indraprastha Prosperity and the Arjuna–Kṛṣṇa Yamunā Excursion (इन्द्रप्रस्थ-वैभवम् तथा यमुनाविहारः)
अवतीर्य नरश्रेष्ठो ब्राह्मणैः सह भारत । प्राचीं दिशमभिप्रेप्सुर्जगाम भरतर्षभ:,जनमेजय! तत्पश्चात् हिमालयसे नीचे उतरकर भरत-कुलभूषण नरश्रेष्ठ अर्जुन पूर्व दिशाकी ओर चल दिये
avatīrya naraśreṣṭho brāhmaṇaiḥ saha bhārata | prācīṃ diśam abhiprepsur jagāma bharatarṣabhaḥ, janamejaya |
毗湿摩波耶那说道：“噢，婆罗多（阇那美阇耶）啊，从喜马拉雅山下行之后，阿周那——人中至杰、婆罗多族的荣饰——与婆罗门们同行，志在东行。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic conduct through purposeful travel undertaken with the company of brāhmaṇas, suggesting that major undertakings—especially those with moral or ritual weight—are strengthened by guidance, learning, and adherence to righteous counsel.
After coming down from the Himālaya, Arjuna departs with brāhmaṇas and proceeds toward the eastern direction; the narrator Vaiśampāyana reports this to King Janamejaya as part of the ongoing account.
