Shloka 25
Dhanañjaya-viraha-śoka and the Resolve to Enter Gandhamādana (धनंजय-विरह-शोकः गन्धमादन-प्रवेश-संकल्पश्च)
न च यानवता शक्यो गन्तुं देशो वृकोदर । न नृशंसेन लुब्धेन नाप्रशान्तेन भारत,भरतनन्दन! वृकोदर! उस प्रदेशमें किसी सवारीसे नहीं जाया जा सकता तथा जो क्र्र, लोभी और अशान्त है, ऐसे मनुष्यके लिये श्रद्धाकी कमीके कारण उस स्थानपर जाना असम्भव है
na ca yānavatā śakyo gantuṁ deśo vṛkodara | na nṛśaṁsena lubdhena nāpraśāntena bhārata ||
尤提士提罗说道：“噢，弗利阔达罗，那片地域非任何车乘所能抵达。残忍、贪婪、心不宁静之人——噢，婆罗多——也无法到达；因其缺乏内在的敬信与自律，便不堪进入那处圣地。”

Educational Q&A
External means (like vehicles or force) do not grant access to certain higher or sacred goals; eligibility depends on inner qualities—non-cruelty, freedom from greed, and calm self-mastery—supported by reverence and discipline.
Yudhiṣṭhira addresses Bhīma (Vṛkodara) while describing a particular region whose approach is not merely physical; he emphasizes that moral and mental disposition determines whether one can truly reach or enter it.
