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 ||

جب دھرم نے یوں کہا تو وہ برہمن-دیوتا اپنی بیوی، بیٹے اور بہو کے ساتھ آسمانی وِمان پر سوار ہو کر سُوَرگ لوک کو روانہ ہو گئے۔ جن کی روش دنیا میں گری ہوئی سمجھی جاتی تھی، وہ بھی دھرم کے کلام کی توثیق سے عزت پا کر دیولोक کو پہنچے۔

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.
