Adhyāya 90: Babhruvāhana’s Reception and the Commencement of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Aśvamedha
तस्मिन् विप्रे गते स्वर्ग ससुते सस्नुषे तदा
tasmin vipre gate svargaṃ sasute sasnuṣe tadā
Nang ang brāhmaṇa ay makaalis na patungong langit, noon din—kasama ang kanyang anak na lalaki at manugang na babae—dumating ang pangyayari sa takdang sandali ng pagliko ng kapalaran sa loob ng tahanan.

The verse frames a moral transition: after the departure of a righteous brāhmaṇa to heaven, the remaining family members stand at a moment where their subsequent actions will carry ethical consequence, highlighting the dharmic gravity of conduct after an elder’s passing.
The speaker notes the time immediately after a brāhmaṇa has gone to heaven; the mention of the son and daughter-in-law indicates the household context and sets up the next event or decision that unfolds among those left behind.
