Vaiśampāyana said: "While Dhaumya was speaking thus, O joy of the Kurus, the great sage Lomaśa, blazing with splendor, arrived there. The eldest of the Pāṇḍavas, the king, together with his companions and the brahmins, rose to greet that great being, as the immortals rise before Śakra in heaven. Having honored him as was fitting, Yudhiṣṭhira asked the reason for his coming and for his wandering. Questioned by the son of Pāṇḍu, the great-souled Lomaśa, pleased, spoke in a gentle voice, as if gladdening the Pāṇḍavas: 'I have been wandering through all the worlds at will, O son of Kuntī, and I came to the abode of Śakra; there I saw the lord of the gods. And I saw your brother too, the hero Savyasācin, seated on half of Śakra's own seat, and I was greatly astonished, O tiger among men, to see Pārtha in such a position. There the lord of the gods said to me: "Go to the sons of Pāṇḍu." So I have come quickly, wishing to see you together with your younger brothers. By the word of Puruhūta and of the great-souled Pārtha, I shall tell you great and joyful news, dear one, O joy of the Pāṇḍavas.'"

The arrival of Lomaśa answers Yudhiṣṭhira's anxiety not with argument but with testimony: Arjuna has been received into the heavenly assembly. Hope is given a concrete sign.
