युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
तत्र मासं वसेद् धीरो नैमिषे तीर्थतत्पर: । पृथिव्यां यानि तीर्थानि तानि तीर्थानि नैमिषे
tatra māsaṁ vased dhīro naimiṣe tīrthatatparaḥ | pṛthivyāṁ yāni tīrthāni tāni tīrthāni naimiṣe ||
因此,心志坚定而明辨之人,专注于朝圣与清净戒行者,当在奈弥沙(Naimiṣa)住满一月。因为大地之上凡有一切圣地渡口(tīrtha),皆被认为汇聚于奈弥沙;故以至诚与自律居于彼处,便能将多次朝圣之功德,摄入一门专一的修持之中。
घुलस्त्य उवाच
Single-pointed devotion and disciplined residence at a supremely sacred place can concentrate the spiritual benefit of many pilgrimages; steadiness (dhīratā) and sincere tīrtha-oriented practice are emphasized over mere travel.
The speaker recommends that a wise pilgrim stay for one month at Naimiṣa, praising it as a uniquely comprehensive tīrtha where the sanctity of all earthly pilgrimage sites is believed to be present.
