Story Summary
After ascending to heaven with Dharma, Yudhishthira arrives in the celestial realm, witnessing its transcendent beauty, divine peace, and radiant splendor. The celestial realm surrounds him—radiant, divine, transcendent—a place of peace, of completion, of liberation. But as he looks around heaven, he notices something that troubles him deeply—Duryodhana is present, enjoying celestial bliss, surrounded by divine pleasures, but his brothers Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula, Sahadeva, and Draupadi are nowhere to be seen. The absence of his loved ones fills Yudhishthira with distress and questions. Why are they not here? What has become of them? The celestial realm is beautiful, but without his companions, it feels incomplete. Yudhishthira's concern for his loved ones reveals his character—his love, his care, his commitment to those who journeyed with him. The stage is set for a journey that will test his ultimate commitment to dharma, leading him to question the nature of heaven itself.
