तस्मिन् देशे च राजेन्द्र यत्र तद् द्रव्यमुत्तमम् । राजन! अनेकानेक सरोवरों
tasmin deśe ca rājendra yatra tad dravyam uttamam | rājan! anekāneka-sarovaraiḥ saritābhiḥ vanaiḥ upavanaiḥ tathā parvataiś ca laṅghayitvā mahārāja yudhiṣṭhiraḥ tasmin sthāne upajagāma yatra tat (rājñā maruttena nidhāpitam) uttamaṃ dravyaṃ saṃcitam āsīt ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：“噢，诸王之最！在那片地域里，珍贵无比的宝藏所在之处，坚战王（Yudhiṣṭhira）跨越无数湖泊、河流、森林、林苑与群山，终于抵达那一地点——昔日马鲁塔王（Marutta）所封藏的至上财富，正聚积于此。此段彰显这位守法之王的坚定行旅：所求之资，乃为大祭与法义之用，而非私欲享乐。”

Educational Q&A
Wealth is portrayed as a means for dharmic ends—especially public, sacrificial, and kingly duties—rather than personal luxury. The king’s arduous travel highlights disciplined resolve and responsible stewardship.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Yudhiṣṭhira journeys across varied terrain and reaches the location where an excellent treasure, associated with the ancient king Marutta, had been stored in great quantity.
