स्वर्गे दुर्योधनदर्शनम् | Duryodhana Seen in Heaven
Triviṣṭapa
अस्ति देवा न मे काम: सुयोधनमुदीक्षितुम् । तत्राहं गन्तुमिच्छामि यत्र ते भ्रातरो मम,“देवगण! मैं दुर्योधनको देखना भी नहीं चाहता; मेरी तो वहीं जानेकी इच्छा है, जहाँ मेरे भाई हैं!
asti devā na me kāmaḥ suyodhanam udīkṣitum | tatrāhaṁ gantum icchāmi yatra te bhrātaro mama ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。「おお神々よ、スヨーダナ（ドゥルヨーダナ）を一目見る気すらない。我が望むのは、兄弟たちのいるところへ—そこへ行くことだ。」

Ethically, the verse highlights that true fulfillment is not merely a reward-state (svarga) but alignment with one’s moral convictions and chosen company: the speaker rejects even the sight of the wrongdoer and seeks the presence of the righteous brothers.
In Svargārohaṇa, the protagonist is shown a heavenly realm where Duryodhana is present; he protests to the gods, declaring he does not wish to see Suyodhana and instead wants to go wherever his brothers are, even if that place is not heaven.
