युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
यक्षिण्यास्तु प्रसादेन मुच्यते ब्रह्म॒हत्यया । नरेश्वर! तदनन्तर तीर्थसेवी मनुष्य राजगृहको जाय। वहाँ स्नान करके वह कक्षीवान्के समान प्रसन्न होता है। उस तीर्थमें पवित्र होकर पुरुष यक्षिणीदेवीका नैवेद्य भक्षण करे। यक्षिणीके प्रसादसे वह ब्रह्महत्यासे मुक्त हो जाता है
yakṣiṇyāstu prasādena mucyate brahmahatyayā | nareśvara! tadanantaraṁ tīrthasevī manuṣyo rājagṛhako jāyate | tatra snātvā sa kakṣīvān iva prasanno bhavati | tasmin tīrthe pavitraḥ san puruṣo yakṣiṇīdevyā naivedya-bhakṣaṇaṁ kuryāt | yakṣiṇī-prasādena sa brahmahatyāyāḥ pramucyate |
古拉斯底耶说道：“大王啊，蒙夜叉女神（Yakṣiṇī）之恩，人便能从梵杀罪 brahmahatyā（杀害婆罗门之罪）中解脱。其后，勤于巡礼诸圣渡（tīrtha）之人，将至一处名为罗阇伽罗（Rājagṛha）。在彼处沐浴，便如迦克希梵（Kakṣīvān）一般欢悦。于此圣渡净身之后，当受食夜叉女神之供献（naivedya）。凭夜叉女神的垂佑，他得以摆脱梵杀罪之重负。”

Educational Q&A
Even the gravest moral stain (brahmahatyā) is portrayed as remediable through disciplined pilgrimage, ritual purification, and humble reception of divine grace (prasāda), emphasizing restoration and responsibility rather than despair.
Ghūlastya instructs the king about a specific tīrtha associated with a Yakṣiṇī: a pilgrim goes to Rājagṛha, bathes to become purified and joyful, then partakes of the deity’s naivedya; by the Yakṣiṇī’s favor he is said to be freed from brahmahatyā.
