Adhyāya 90: Babhruvāhana’s Reception and the Commencement of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Aśvamedha
काडुशक्षन्ते दर्शन तुभ्यं दिवं ब्रज द्विजर्षभ । द्विजश्रेष्ठ! ब्रह्मलोकमें विचरनेवाले जो ब्रह्मर्षिगण विमानोंमें रहते हैं, वे भी तुम्हारे दर्शनकी इच्छा रखते हैं; इसलिये तुम स्वर्गलोकमें चलो
kāṅkṣante darśanaṁ tubhyaṁ divaṁ vraja dvijarṣabha | dvijaśreṣṭha brahmaloke vicarṇe vāle ye brahmarṣigaṇa vimāneṣu tiṣṭhanti te 'pi tava darśanecchāṁ kurvanti tasmāt tvaṁ svargalokaṁ calā ||
岳父说道：“噫，二次生者中的雄牛啊，往天界去吧。噫，婆罗门中最上者！即便是游行于梵天世界、居住于天车之中的梵仙（Brahmarṣi），也渴望得见你一面。因此，前往天界吧。”

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes the honor accorded to spiritual excellence: a truly eminent Brahmin is considered worthy of being sought even by Brahmarṣis. It frames ‘darśana’ as a sacred encounter and presents heavenly ascent as a consequence of recognized merit and virtue.
The speaker, identified as the father-in-law, urges the addressed Brahmin to go to heaven, stating that exalted seers dwelling in Brahmaloka and traveling in vimānas desire to see him; this functions as a formal invitation and affirmation of the person’s spiritual stature.
