Svargārohaṇa-parva Adhyāya 2 — Yudhiṣṭhira’s Inquiry for His Kin and the Vision of a Punitive Realm
नकुल: सहदेवोहं धृष्टद्युम्नो5हमित्युत । द्रौपदी द्रौपदेयाश्व इत्येवं ते विचुक्रुशु:ः
nakulaḥ sahadevo 'haṃ dhṛṣṭadyumno 'ham ity uta | draupadī draupadeyāś ca ity evaṃ te vicukruśuḥ ||
କେହି ଚିତ୍କାର କଲା—“ମୁଁ ନକୁଳ”, କେହି—“ମୁଁ ସହଦେବ”, ଆଉ କେହି—“ମୁଁ ଧୃଷ୍ଟଦ୍ୟୁମ୍ନ”; ପୁଣି—“ମୁଁ ଦ୍ରୌପଦୀ” ଏବଂ “ଆମେ ଦ୍ରୌପଦେୟ (ଦ୍ରୌପଦୀଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର)”—ଏଭଳି ଭାବେ ସେମାନେ ସମସ୍ତେ ଉଚ୍ଚସ୍ୱରେ ଡାକିଲେ।

Educational Q&A
At the end of life’s journey, mere assertion of name and status is powerless; the narrative highlights how attachment to personal identity persists, yet the final passage demands truthfulness and detachment, aligning one’s self-understanding with dharma rather than ego.
A group of figures cry out loudly, each declaring who they are—Nakula, Sahadeva, Dhṛṣṭadyumna, Draupadī, and the Draupadeyas—responding to an inquiry by proclaiming their identities from all sides.
