Dharma raju put to test by Indra and Dharma devatha

Dharama raju was moving forward and Indra came to him.Dharma raju saluted him.Indra requested Dharma raju to alight his celestial chariot. Dharmaraju told him that he could not accept his offer unless his people who followed him till then too were granted the permission.To that Indra replied that his brothers and Droupadi left their bodies and reached swarga. so,Dharmaraju need not feel for them. Once he too reaches Swarga,he can meet them.But,Dharma raju said that the dog was accompanying him all along. So,it should also be permitted to come to heaven.Indra smiled and said how could a dog attain salvation and come to heaven. It was not wrong in leaving it and Dharmaraju alighting the chariot.But Dharma raju was adamant in his decision.Indra would lose his special powers as king of deities if he touched dog. Dharmaraju was firm and told that he would not accompany Indra to heaven without the dog.He told him to go to heaven and Dharmaraju and the dog would stay on the earth and he would practice penance. Actually ,the dog was the deity of righteousness. THEY WANTED TO PUT Dharmaraju to test.They praised his impartiality and love for all creatures.Dharmaraju saluted them as soon as they appeared in their real forms.They told unitedly like this.Dharmaraja!you are free to go to heaven along with your body and live in swarga as per your wishes.Then,Gandharvas,rishis,aswini deities ,vasuvulu and maruththulu came .They made Dharma raju to sit on the chariot.They sat beside him and praised him for his greatness.They took him to heaven.But,Dharmaraju was not happy. He requested them to show his brothers. Until then he was not happy.
