Recognition and Explanation
अश्रिनोस्तु तथा स्थाने दीप्यमानौ स्वतेजसा । नकुलं सहदेवं च ददर्श कुरुनन्दन:,कुरुनन्दन युधिष्ठिरने नकुल और सहदेवको अभश्विनीकुमारोंके स्थानमें विराजमान देखा जो अपने तेजसे उद्दीप्त हो रहे थे
aśrinostu tathā sthāne dīpyamānau svatejasā | nakulaṃ sahadevaṃ ca dadarśa kurunandanaḥ ||
毗湿摩波耶那说：随后，在属于阿湿毗尼双神（Aśvinīkumāra）的位所中，俱卢王子（坚战，Yudhiṣṭhira）看见那俱罗与娑诃提婆端坐其间，光辉灿然，以自身天赋的威光炽然照耀。此景昭示：诸兄弟各自归于与其本源与德行相应的神圣根柢，暗合一种道德秩序——人的真实本性与应得之功，终将获得承认。

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores a moral-cosmic order: beings ultimately reach the realm or status consonant with their divine origin and earned merit. Nakula and Sahadeva, associated with the Aśvins, are shown established in the Aśvins’ station, shining by their own tejas—suggesting rightful recognition and fulfillment beyond earthly trials.
As Yudhiṣṭhira proceeds in the heavenly vision of Svargarohana, he sees Nakula and Sahadeva seated in the domain of the Aśvinīkumāras, radiant with innate splendor, indicating their exalted placement among the divine.
