Adhyāya 90: Babhruvāhana’s Reception and the Commencement of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Aśvamedha

The father-in-law said: “O brāhmaṇa, go at your ease to the stainless abode of Brahmā, free from the taint of passion. O best of the twice-born, for all of you a divine aerial car now stands ready.”

Educational Q&A

The verse honors spiritual purity and merit: those who are ‘viraja’—untainted by rajas (passion)—are fit for Brahmaloka, and righteous persons are respectfully guided toward higher realms.

A father-in-law addresses a group of brāhmaṇas, granting them leave and directing them to proceed comfortably to Brahmā’s abode, indicating that a divine vehicle has arrived to carry them.
