17.3.32

siddhiṃ prāpto'si paramāṃ yathā nānyaḥ pumānkvacit |
naiva te bhrātaraḥ sthānaṃ saṃprāptāḥ kurunandana || 32 ||

"Hearing this speech of the king, the chief of the deities, Purandara, said these words fraught with noble sense: ‘Do thou live in this place, O king of kings, which thou hast won by thy meritorious deeds. Why dost thou still cherish human affections? Thou hast attained to great success, the like of which no other man has ever been able to attain. Thy brothers, O delighter of the Kurus, have succeeded in winning regions of felicity. Human affections still touch thee. This is Heaven. Behold these celestial Rishis and Siddhas who have attained to the region of the gods.’

Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
