Shloka 5
अर्जुनागमनम्
Arjuna’s Arrival and Reunion on the Sacred Mountain
न खल्वासीतू पुनर्युद्धं तस्य यक्षैर््धिजोत्तम । कच्चित् समागमस्तेषामासीद् वैश्रवणस्य च,द्विजश्रेष्ठ! उनका यक्षोंके साथ फिर कोई युद्ध हुआ था या नहीं। क्या कुबेरके साथ कभी उनकी भेंट हुई थी?
na khalv āsīt punaḥ yuddhaṃ tasya yakṣair dvijottama | kaccit samāgamas teṣām āsīd vaiśravaṇasya ca ||
阇那美阇耶说道：“二次生的至上者啊，他当真不再与夜叉交战了吗？他可曾与毗舍罗伐那（俱毗罗）相会？”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights careful ethical inquiry into the aftermath of conflict: whether hostility continued or gave way to reconciliation, and whether a higher authority (Kubera) granted an audience—implying that resolution and proper relations with powerful beings matter as much as victory.
Janamejaya asks the sage to clarify two points about the episode involving Yakṣas: whether there was any renewed fighting afterward, and whether the central figure later met Vaiśravaṇa (Kubera), the lord associated with Yakṣas and wealth.
