Shloka 141
युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
तत्राभिषेकं कुर्वाणो वाजपेयमवाप्नुयात् । देवकूटं समासाद्य ब्रह्मर्षिगणसेवितम्
tatrābhiṣekaṃ kurvāṇo vājapeyam avāpnuyāt | devakūṭaṃ samāsādya brahmarṣigaṇasevitam ||
在那里，行灌顶（abhiṣeka）之礼者，得与“婆阇佩耶”（Vājapeya）大祭同等之功德。既至天峰德瓦库塔（Devakūṭa）——为众多梵仙（Brahmarṣi）所常来供奉、敬仰之处——若于圣地依仪轨而行，则获净化之法果；盖由严持戒行与亲近圣贤，能增上其灵性之位。
