Shloka 1636
स्वर्गारोहणपर्व — तृतीयोऽध्यायः
Indra and Dharma’s Consolation; Celestial Gaṅgā Purification
द्रौपदी च तथा कृष्णा व्याजेन नरकं गता: । 'जैसे तुम यहाँ लाये गये थे उसी प्रकार भीमसेन, अर्जुन, नकुल, सहदेव तथा ट्रपदकुमारी कृष्णा--ये सभी छलसे नरकके निकट लाये गये थे
draūpadī ca tathā kṛṣṇā vyājena narakaṃ gatāḥ |
毗舍摩波耶那说：德劳帕蒂——亦名黑天女（Kṛṣṇā）——因一番安排（以欺示为由）而被引向地狱之途。叙事强调：即便是正直之人，也可能在神圣的布置下得见地狱的近景；这并非最终的定罪，而是对细微过失与业法无私公正的一次道德昭示。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The passage highlights the impartial working of karma and the ethical idea that even great figures may be shown the consequences of subtle imperfections; the ‘ruse’ indicates a divinely arranged moral demonstration rather than a simple verdict on their worth.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Draupadī (Kṛṣṇā) too was led toward hell through a contrived pretext—part of the broader Svargarohana sequence where the Pāṇḍavas are shown hell and heaven to reveal hidden moral residues and the justice of dharma.
