भीष्मशिबिरगमनम् — Duryodhana’s Visit to Bhīṣma’s Camp and the Command Appeal
परिष्वज्य सुतं चापि आत्मन: सदृशं गुणै: । प्रीतिमाननयत् पार्थों देवराजनिवेशने,गुणोंमें अपने ही समान उस पुत्रको हृदयसे लगाकर अर्जुन बड़ी प्रसन्नताके साथ उसे देवराजके भवनमें ले गये
pariṣvajya sutaṃ cāpi ātmanaḥ sadṛśaṃ guṇaiḥ | prītimān anayat pārtho devarāja-niveśane ||
三阇耶说:阿周那拥抱其子——德行与己无异——满怀慈爱与欢喜,将他引入天帝之宫。此景彰显达摩之理想:识别并培育子嗣之德,并在宏大的英雄职责压力下仍以温厚的担当行事。

The verse highlights a dharmic ethic of honoring virtue (guṇa) within one’s own lineage: Arjuna recognizes his son’s noble qualities, responds with affectionate responsibility, and guides him toward a higher sphere (Indra’s abode), suggesting that love and duty can harmonize rather than conflict.
Sañjaya narrates that Arjuna warmly embraces his son—described as resembling him in virtues—and, rejoicing, takes him into the residence of Devarāja (Indra), indicating a movement into the divine palace and a moment of familial reunion within a celestial setting.
