Svargārohaṇa-parva Adhyāya 2 — Yudhiṣṭhira’s Inquiry for His Kin and the Vision of a Punitive Realm
भीमं च भीमविक्रान्तं प्राणेभ्योडपि प्रियं मम । अर्जुन चेन्द्रसंकाशं यमौ चैव यमोपमौ
bhīmaṃ ca bhīmavikrāntaṃ prāṇebhyo 'pi priyaṃ mama | arjunaṃ cendrasankāśaṃ yamau caiva yamopamau ||
玉提施提罗说道：“我渴望见到毗摩——威猛可怖、于我比性命更可爱——见到如因陀罗般光辉的阿周那，以及那对双生兄弟那库拉与萨诃提婆，犹如阎摩般不可战胜。我也愿得一见笃守达摩的王后德劳帕蒂。我丝毫不愿留在此处；我对你们所言皆为真实。”

The verse highlights dharma as steadfast loyalty and truth: Yudhiṣṭhira values righteous companionship and moral bonds over personal reward, refusing to accept even heaven if it is separated from those to whom he is bound by duty and love.
Having reached the heavenly realm, Yudhiṣṭhira declares that he does not wish to remain there unless he can see his brothers—Bhīma, Arjuna, and the twins Nakula-Sahadeva—and also Draupadī. His insistence expresses both affection and an ethical refusal to enjoy bliss alone.
