युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
तत्र विष्णु: प्रसादार्थ रुद्रमाराधयत् पुरा । वरांश्व सुबहूँल्लेभे दैवतेषु सुदुर्लभान्
tatra viṣṇuḥ prasādārthaṁ rudram ārādhayat purā | varāṁś ca subahūn lebhe daivateṣu sudurlabhān | tad-anantaraṁ tribhuvana-vikhyāta-suvarṇa-tīrthakī yātrā kare |
在那里，远古之时，毗湿奴为求鲁陀罗的恩许而虔诚礼拜；并从他处获得许多殊胜之赐——即便在诸天之中亦极难得。随后叙事转向三界闻名的苏伐尔那圣渡处（Suvarṇa-tīrtha）之朝圣，昭示即使至高者亦以恭敬奉爱求取神恩。

Educational Q&A
Even the greatest seek success through humility and devoted worship; divine grace (prasāda) is approached through reverence, and rare attainments are portrayed as fruits of disciplined devotion rather than entitlement.
The text recalls an ancient episode where Viṣṇu propitiates Rudra to gain his favor and receives many rare boons; it then transitions toward the account of a pilgrimage to the widely renowned Suvarṇa-tīrtha.
