युधिष्ठिरस्य अर्जुनप्रेषण-युक्तिवर्णनम् | Yudhiṣṭhira’s Rationale for Sending Arjuna and Request to Dhaumya
ब्रह्मणा तत्र सरसि यूपश्रेष्ठ: समुच्छित: । यूपं प्रदक्षिणं कृत्वा वाजपेयफलं लभेत्,ब्रह्माजीने उस सरोवरमें एक श्रेष्ठ यूपकी स्थापना की थी। उसकी परिक्रमा करनेसे मानव वाजपेययज्ञका फल पा लेता है
brahmaṇā tatra sarasi yūpaśreṣṭhaḥ samucchritaḥ | yūpaṃ pradakṣiṇaṃ kṛtvā vājapeyaphalaṃ labhet |
古拉斯提亚说道:“在那里,在那座湖中,梵天(Brahmā)立起了一根最殊胜的祭柱(yūpa)。若以恭敬之心绕行此祭柱作右绕礼(pradakṣiṇā),便能获得等同于婆阇佩耶祭(Vājapeya)的功德。”
घुलस्त्य उवाच
Reverent practice (pradakṣiṇā) performed with faith at a sanctified object can confer great merit, even comparable to major sacrifices like the Vājapeya—highlighting accessibility of dharmic merit beyond wealth-intensive rituals.
The speaker describes a sacred lake where Brahmā established a superior sacrificial post; the text states that anyone who circumambulates this yūpa gains the fruit of performing the Vājapeya sacrifice.
