“मनुजेश्वर! शत्रुदयन! आप भी अपने सभी भाइयोंके साथ पवित्र तीर्थोंका दर्शन कीजिये। राजेन्द्र! पुण्यतीर्थोमें स्नान करके पाप-तापसे रहित हो सुखी एवं निष्कलंक जीवन बिताते हुए आप राज्यभोग करेंगे” ।। भवांश्वैनं द्विजश्रेष्ठ पर्यटन्तं महीतलम् । त्रातुमर्हति विप्राग्रय तपोबलसमन्वित:,द्विजश्रेष्ठू आप भी भूतलपर विचरनेवाले राजा युधिष्ठिरकी रक्षा करते रहें; क्योंकि आप तपोबलसे सम्पन्न हैं
manujeśvara! śatrudamana! tvam api sarvaiḥ bhrātṛbhiḥ sārdhaṃ pavitrāṇāṃ tīrthānāṃ darśanaṃ kuru. rājendra! puṇyatīrtheṣu snātvā pāpa-tāpa-vivarjitaḥ sukhī niṣkalaṅkaś ca jīvan rājya-bhogān bhokṣyase. bhavān tv enaṃ dvijaśreṣṭha paryaṭantaṃ mahītalam trātum arhati viprāgrya tapobalasamanvitaḥ.
毗湿摩波耶那说：“噢人中之主，降伏仇敌者，你也当与诸兄弟同往，瞻礼清净圣地渡口（tīrtha）。噢最上之王，在有功德的诸渡口沐浴，你将脱离罪垢与苦恼之热；安乐无染而住，仍将享受王权之果。又，噢最胜二生者（婆罗门），当护持此游行大地的由提施提罗，因为你具足苦行（tapas）之力。”

Pilgrimage and ritual bathing at tīrthas are presented as means of moral and psychological purification—removing pāpa (sin) and tāpa (affliction)—so that one may live “niṣkalaṅka” (without stain) and regain rightful well-being; additionally, the verse highlights the protective efficacy of a brāhmaṇa’s tapas, implying that spiritual discipline can safeguard righteous kingship.
Vaiśaṃpāyana reports counsel directed to Yudhiṣṭhira: he should travel with his brothers to visit sacred tīrthas and bathe there for purification and renewed fortune. In the same context, a foremost brāhmaṇa/ascetic is urged to protect Yudhiṣṭhira during his wanderings, relying on the strength gained through austerities.
