Educational Q&A
The verse conveys that divine order supports the righteous with reassurance and moral consolation: after severe trials, Yudhiṣṭhira is granted the grace of seeing his loved ones, affirming that dharma is not ultimately bereft of compassion and recognition.
After speaking to Yudhiṣṭhira, the gods command a celestial messenger to show him his suhṛd—his dear companions and well-wishers—indicating a transition toward revelation and resolution in the Svargarohana (ascent to heaven) episode.
