Mātali’s Arrival and Arjuna’s Ascent toward Amarāvatī (मातलिसंयुक्तरथागमनम् तथा इन्द्रलोकगमनारम्भः)
Devanagari script
ततः शक्रासने पुण्ये देवर्षिगणसेविते । शक्र: पाणौ गृहीत्वैनमुपावेशयदन्तिके,तत्पश्चात् इन्द्रने अर्जुनका हाथ पकड़कर अपने देवर्षिगणसेवित पवित्र सिंहासनपर उन्हें पास ही बिठा लिया
Transliteration
tataḥ śakrāsane puṇye devarṣigaṇasevite | śakraḥ pāṇau gṛhītvainam upāveśayad antike ||
Translation
Then, upon Indra’s sacred throne—hallowed and attended by companies of divine seers—Śakra (Indra) took him by the hand and seated him close by. The scene underscores the ethical recognition of worth: a righteous hero is received with honor, intimacy, and protection in the divine realm, not merely as a guest but as one deemed fit for counsel and higher instruction.
