THE MAHABHARATA
 
Then, making heaven and earth resound
all over, India came in his chariot to
Yudhisthira, and asked him to ascend
the chariot.
 
युधिष्ठिरः-
"
 
'न विना भ्रातृभिस्स्वर्गमिच्छे गन्तुं सुरेश्वर ।
सुकुमारी च गच्छेत तद्भवाननुमन्यताम् ॥ '
 
Yudhisthira-
King of the gods! I do not desire
to go to heaven without my brothers;
and let the beautiful Draupadi also go
(to heaven); may you permit that."
 
इन्द्रः-
66
 
'निक्षिप्य मानुषं देहं गतास्ते भरतर्षभ ।
अनेन त्वं शरीरेण स्वर्गे गन्ता न संशयः ॥ '
 
Indra--
"Illustrious scion of Bharata! they have
(all) gone (to heaven), casting off their
human bodies. You shall surely go to
. heaven even with this body."
