yathaiva tvaṃ tathā bhīmas tathā pārtho yamau tathā
Vaiśampāyana disse: “Assim como tu és, assim também é Bhīma; assim também é Pārtha, e do mesmo modo os dois gêmeos.”

Educational Q&A
The line stresses parity and shared condition among the Pāṇḍavas—no one is exempt or singled out; the brothers stand together in the same state, underscoring solidarity and equal participation in the consequences of their path.
Vaiśaṃpāyana, as narrator, identifies that the same situation applies to the addressed person and to Bhīma, Arjuna (Pārtha), and the twins (Nakula and Sahadeva), grouping the brothers together as a single unit within the unfolding events of Svargārohaṇa.
