SVARGAROHANA PARVA
 
स्थिते मुहूर्त पार्थे तु व्यगमत्तत्तमो [नृप]।
न यातना अदृश्यन्त ततो वायुश्शुचिर्ववौ ॥
 
When Yudhisthira stayed (there) for a
while, that darkness (of hell) disappeared;
tortures were not seen; and a pure breeze
then blew.
 
दिवौकसस्समाजग्मुर्यत्र राजा स्थितोऽभवत् ।
 
The denizens of heaven came to where
king Yudhisthira was.
 
इन्द्र:-

न च मन्युस्त्वया कार्यः श्रुणु चेदं वचो मम ।
अवश्यं नरकस्तात द्रष्टव्यस्सर्वराजभिः ।
व्याजेन हि त्वया द्रोण उपचीर्णस्सुतं प्रति ।
व्याजेनैव ततो राजन् दर्शितो नरकस्तव ॥

(Yudhisthira !) You must not become
angry ; hear these words of mine : Hell
must be seen by all kings without fail;
it is under cover of
 
some pretext that
 
you deceived Drona in
 
respect of his son ;
 
hence has hell been shown to you:
 
through some pretext.
