Adhyāya 90: Babhruvāhana’s Reception and the Commencement of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Aśvamedha
विरजो ब्रह्मसदनं गच्छ विप्र यथासुखम् | सर्वेषां वो द्विजश्रेष्ठ दिव्यं यानमुपस्थितम्,“विप्रवर! अब तुम सुखपूर्वक रजोगुणरहित ब्रह्मलोकमें जाओ। द्विजश्रेष्ठी तुम सब लोगोंके लिये यह दिव्य विमान उपस्थित है
virajo brahmasadanaṁ gaccha vipra yathāsukham | sarveṣāṁ vo dvijaśreṣṭha divyaṁ yānam upasthitam ||
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.”
श्षशुर उवाच
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.
