युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
ब्रह्मावर्त ततो गच्छेद् ब्रह्म॒चारी समाहित: । अश्वमेधमवाप्रोति सोमलोकं च गच्छति
Brahmāvarta tato gacched brahmacārī samāhitaḥ | Aśvamedham avāpnoti somalokaṃ ca gacchati ||
其后，守梵行（brahmacārin）而有戒律者，当摄心专注，前往神圣之地婆罗摩伐尔多（Brahmāvarta）。由此可得与阿湿婆美陀（Aśvamedha）大祭等同之功德，并终将抵达苏摩之天界（Soma-loka）。

Educational Q&A
The verse elevates disciplined brahmacarya and mental concentration, presenting pilgrimage undertaken with inner restraint as capable of granting merit comparable to the highest Vedic sacrifice, and promising an exalted posthumous destination (Somaloka).
The speaker gives prescriptive guidance: a brahmacārin, composed and focused, should go to Brahmāvarta; the act is said to confer Aśvamedha-like merit and lead the practitioner to Somaloka.
