Lomaśa’s Counsel and the Resolve for Pilgrimage
एतस्मिन्नेव चार्थेडसाविन्द्रगीता युधिष्ठिर गाथा चरति लोकेडस्मिन् गीयमाना द्विजातिभि:,युधिष्ठिर! इसी विषयमें इन्द्रकी गायी हुई एक गाथा लोकमें प्रचलित है, जिसे ब्राह्मण गाया करते हैं
etasminn eva cārthe ’sāv indragītā yudhiṣṭhira gāthā carati loke ’smin gīyamānā dvijātibhiḥ
陀乌弥亚说道：“正为此事啊，优提施提罗，在世间流传着一首著名的偈颂，名为‘因陀罗之歌’（Indra-gītā）——相传出自因陀罗之口，由两次生者传唱并守护。”
धौम्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames the forthcoming advice as an established dharmic maxim: true ethical guidance is preserved and validated through respected tradition (here, a gāthā attributed to Indra) and transmitted by learned reciters, not invented ad hoc.
Dhaumya addresses Yudhiṣṭhira and introduces a well-known traditional stanza called the Indragītā, indicating that he will support his counsel with an authoritative, widely remembered teaching sung by the twice-born.
