Vyāsa’s Counsel to Yudhiṣṭhira: Pratismṛti-vidyā, Arjuna’s Aśtra-Quest, and the Move to Kāmyaka
अगच्छत् पर्वतं पुण्यमेकाह्रैव महामना: । मनोजवगतिर््भूत्वा योगयुक्तो यथानिल:,महामना अर्जुन योगयुक्त होनेके कारण मनके समान तीव्र वेगसे चलनेमें समर्थ हो गये थे, अतः वे वायुके समान एक ही दिनमें उस पुण्य पर्वतपर पहुँच गये
agacchat parvataṁ puṇyam ekāhrai eva mahāmanāḥ | manojavagatir bhūtvā yogayukto yathānilaḥ ||
毗湿摩波耶那说：他怀着宏大的决心，于一日之内便抵达那座圣山。凭借瑜伽的修持，他迅疾如心念，行进如清风——无所阻碍而志向分明——显明内在的自制与精进，能将意愿化为切实的行动。

The verse highlights that yogic discipline (yogayukta) and a great, steady mind (mahāmanāḥ) can remove inner obstacles, making one’s actions swift, efficient, and aligned with purpose—symbolized by movement as fast as thought and as unobstructed as wind.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Arjuna, empowered by yoga and strong resolve, travels with extraordinary speed and reaches a sacred mountain within a single day.
