Swargaarohana parvamu

Indra wanted to fulfill Dharmarajus wish to see his brothers,wherever they were. So,he directed one of his assistants to accompany Dharmaraju and show him his brothers. Out of CURIOSITY Narada and other sages also accompanied them.Dharmaraju saw Duryodhana at one place seated on a reputable chair and enjoying life.Dharmaraju was astonished. He told Narada that why Duryodhana was there. Duryodhana was stringent,he had no fore sight. Because of him only,so many kings died along with their armies.Why are great people mingling with him?Dharmaraju was eager to see his younger brothers and his wife,Droupadi. Narada answered him that Duryodhana died like a warrior in war.He killed kings as per the rights and rules of Kshathriyas.How can any one say it is a sin?This is heaven .Every one is treated equally without any partiality.If you feel hurt for any thing,please do not think about those things here. Dharmaraju replied Narada that why should he talk about the the person who is the root cause of collapse of kuru dynasty.My mother told me that Karna was her first son. From the moment I knew about it,I wanted to salute him and fall on his feet with respect. Earlier I wanted him killed and I suggested to Arjuna to kill him,many a time.Dharmaraju was eager to see his brothers and wife and requested them to show them fast.AS per his wish they took along a path where the passage was filled with mosquitoes,bacteria,arthropods and other poisonous creatures.That path was filled with blood and flesh and crows ,with sharp beaks were flying there.On either side of the path,Dharmaraju saw oil like water was boiling in the heavy cauldrons and forests filled with spiny and sword like leaves.He saw many people suffering in the Vaithariny river which had these banks.Dharmaraju sked his aide ,how much distance still they had to walk to see his brothers. He replied that they were living here only. That place was filled with foul smell.He could not see the tortures inflicted to the people there.He moved to go away from that dirty place. He heard pleas from people to stop there. Hey great soul!because of the scents from your celestial body,our sufferings have subsided.After seeing you,our punishments have diminished.So,please stay and do not leave this place.Dharmaraju was sorry for their plight and asked them who they were.They replied that they were Karna,Bheema,Arjuna,Nakula,Sahadeva,Droupadi,Dhrushtadyumna,and sons of Droupadi.Dharmaraju was aghast to know that his people were suffering in hell.Why did God do like this? What sin had they done to suffer like this in hell?How could Duryodhana find a place in heaven ,who did not even a single good thing in life?Dharmaraju was sorrowful knowing that good people like his brothers,wife and children were suffering in hell.Dharamaraju sent Indras assistant back saying that he would stay with his family members only in hell.He would not come yo heaven.Indra,other sages and Dharmadevatha came there to convince Dharmaraju to return to heaven. As soon as Dharma devatha had come grotesque sinners have become normal,foul smell had gone and the sufferings of the sinners had nullified. Vaitharani river has disappeared. Indra came with other deities and sages and requested him to come to heaven. He explained his act like this.Brother!do not feel angry for my doing. King has to come and see hell. Vedas have specified this.There are two things..good and bad deeds.One who enjoys life in heaven is going to suffer a longer time in hell.Those who suffer in hell are supposed to enjoy long life in heaven permanently.The reason for my sending you here first and see these sufferings is to make sure that you enjoy your life at heaven permanently.Just because I could not with stand your sorrow,I am explaining all this to you.
