Adhyāya 90: Babhruvāhana’s Reception and the Commencement of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Aśvamedha
सदार: ससुतश्रैव सस्नुषश्न दिवं गत: । धर्मके ऐसा कहनेपर वे उज्छवृत्तिवाले ब्राह्मण देवता अपनी पत्नी, पुत्र और पुत्रवधूके साथ विमानपर आरूढ़ हो स्वर्गलोकको चले गये
sadāraḥ sasutaś caiva sasnuṣaś ca divaṁ gataḥ | dharmake etadā kathanepara ve ujjhavṛttivāle brāhmaṇa-devatā ātmanaḥ patnyā putreṇa ca putravadhu-sahitā vimānam ārūḍhāḥ svargalokaṁ jagmuḥ ||
それがダルマの名において告げられると、神性の婆羅門は妻・子・嫁とともに天へ旅立った。かつて行いが堕したと見なされていた婆羅門の神々は、天の車に乗り、神々の世界へ赴いた。ダルマにかなう真実と道徳的な承認が、名誉を回復し、崇高な結末へ導くことを示したのである。

Educational Q&A
