Adhyāya 90: Babhruvāhana’s Reception and the Commencement of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Aśvamedha
सदार: ससुतश्रैव सस्नुषश्न दिवं गत: । धर्मके ऐसा कहनेपर वे उज्छवृत्तिवाले ब्राह्मण देवता अपनी पत्नी, पुत्र और पुत्रवधूके साथ विमानपर आरूढ़ हो स्वर्गलोकको चले गये
sadāraḥ sasutaś caiva sasnuṣaś ca divaṁ gataḥ | dharmake etadā kathanepara ve ujjhavṛttivāle brāhmaṇa-devatā ātmanaḥ patnyā putreṇa ca putravadhu-sahitā vimānam ārūḍhāḥ svargalokaṁ jagmuḥ ||
Nang masambit iyon sa ngalan ng dharma, ang banal na Brahmana, kasama ang kanyang asawa, anak na lalaki, at manugang na babae, ay lumisan patungong langit. Yaong mga Brahmana na wari’y mga diyos—na ang asal ay minsang itinuring na nalugmok—ay sumakay sa makalangit na karwahe at nagtungo sa daigdig ng mga deva, na nagpapakita na ang matuwid na katotohanan at pagkilalang moral ay nakapagbabalik ng dangal at naghahatid sa dakilang hantungan.

Educational Q&A
Dharma, when rightly affirmed and spoken, has the power to restore moral standing and lead to auspicious outcomes; ethical recognition and truthful judgment can transform a narrative of disgrace into one of elevation.
After a dharmic statement is made, the divine Brāhmaṇa—along with his wife, son, and daughter-in-law—mounts a celestial vimāna and departs to Svarga, marking a decisive resolution in which the family attains heaven.
