Educational Q&A
The verse underscores a moral-cosmic order: beings ultimately reach the realm or status consonant with their divine origin and earned merit. Nakula and Sahadeva, associated with the Aśvins, are shown established in the Aśvins’ station, shining by their own tejas—suggesting rightful recognition and fulfillment beyond earthly trials.
As Yudhiṣṭhira proceeds in the heavenly vision of Svargarohana, he sees Nakula and Sahadeva seated in the domain of the Aśvinīkumāras, radiant with innate splendor, indicating their exalted placement among the divine.
