Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Even under injustice and loss, Yudhiṣṭhira maintains dharmic conduct—formally seeking leave and speaking with restraint—showing that ethical self-control and respect for social order are not abandoned in adversity.

What is happening in the narrative?

After the disastrous events in the Kaurava court that lead to the Pāṇḍavas’ departure for the forest, Yudhiṣṭhira announces that he will take leave of Yuyutsu, Sañjaya, and the assembled courtiers, depart, and later return to meet them again.
