युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
गोमतीगड़्योश्वैव संगमे लोकविश्रुते । अग्निष्टोममवाप्रोति कुलं चैव समुद्धरेत्
gomatīgaṅgayoś caiva saṅgame lokaviśrute | agniṣṭomam avāpnoti kulaṃ caiva samuddharet ||
普拉斯提亚说道：在举世闻名的戈摩提河与恒河交汇处附近，有一处罕见的圣渡口，系圣仙摩尔坎德耶所系。凡往彼处者，得阿耆尼什多摩祭（Agniṣṭoma）之功德，并由此振拔、救度其家族血脉——昭示以恭敬之心行朝圣，不但能净化自身，亦能以法（dharma）之福德净益宗族。

A revered tīrtha, especially at a famous river confluence, is said to confer the merit of great Vedic rites like the Agniṣṭoma; such dharmic merit can elevate not only the pilgrim but also their lineage, emphasizing responsibility to family and tradition through righteous acts.
Ghūlastya is describing a specific sacred place near the confluence of the Gomati and Ganga, identified with the sage Mārkaṇḍeya, and he explains the spiritual reward of visiting it: the fruit of the Agniṣṭoma sacrifice and the uplift of one’s family line.
