Mahabharata — Svargarohana Parva, Shloka 10
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 ||
ဝိုင်သမ္ပာယနက ပြောသည်– «အို နတ်တို့ရေ! ကျွန်ုပ်သည် စုယောဓန (ဒုရျောဓန) ကို မျက်နှာချင်းဆိုင်ကြည့်ရန်တောင် ဆန္ဒမရှိ။ ကျွန်ုပ်သွားလိုသည်မှာ—ကျွန်ုပ်၏ ညီအစ်ကိုများ ရှိရာသို့ပင်»

Educational Q&A
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.
